Abstract
In this paper, we reinterpreted the conflicts faced by supporters arising from relationships with people with intellectual disabilities in social work practice and attempted to give them a positive meaning. Results show
that, by viewing conflicts that arise as“Yuragi”through dialogue, supporters are able to view conflicts positively, as
an opportunity for the supporter to reflect on him or herself, and as an opportunity for learning. In addition, it
became clear that by viewing conflicts positively, supporters can become reflective practitioners who constantly
reflect on the social work they provide to the people involved.
