Conflictology is placed within the framework of Peace and Conflict Studies with a focus on structural conflicts. The difficulties of understanding conflicts in general are discussed by specifying the factors that influence an intervention. The idea of structural conflicts and their elements is outlined. It specifies how conflicts are chronicled and the role of ideology and awareness of what happens. It is considered the role of trust in conflicting relationships. Power relations and their effects are examined: obedience, psychological reactance, learned helplessness, and dependence. As well as misguided behaviors. Some basis for professional interventions is suggested, with distinction between small groups and mass collective behaviors. The need to deepen this type of conflict and to improve the skills of neutral third parties is concluded.
