Abstract
The aim of this study is to present some of the clinical applications of the detection of impli-cative dilemmas through their therapeutic assessment and later elaboration. In the context of a joint project involving researchers from three Spanish universities, we have developed a method of detecting implicative dilemmas based on the repertory grid technique, and at this moment we are working on a method of conflict analysis with patients with a view to their resolution.

We will present two lines of research that we are currently using with regard to the influence these conflicts have on resistance to change as well as research into the efficacy of therapy focused on these dilemmas.
