Dan Bar-On's psychosocial approach sees identity as dynamic, constructed in contra-distinction to various 'Others'.

Yet the book holds out the possibility of a constructive dialogue, internal and among groups in society, that will give rise to a better-integrated and more inclusive identity construction.
