This article aims to explore theoretical-methodological implications of the ethics of care for psychology and moral education. Taking the premise of multiple moral voices in connection, installed by Gilligan, the article analyzes interpersonal conflicts, through the Theory of Organizing Models of Thinking. From a research clipping with teenagers aged 14 to 16, in which interviews about interpersonal conflicts were applied, we present the analysis of two conflicts narrated by a young participant. We seek to highlight different phenomena of the human psyche in conflict resolution. The results showed the continuum between the desires of justice, care, happiness, and well-being in the elaboration of interpersonal relationships in different interactive contexts, giving visibility to relational ethics. Based on the results, we discuss some implications for educational practices aimed at ethical education aligned with acting for the personal and collective good.

Keywords : Ethics; Organizing Models of Thinking; Conflicts; Moral education.
