Description and Table of Contents
Description
This newly revised and updated comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of mediation offers concrete strategies for every stage of the mediation process. Mediation expert Christopher W. Moore presents a detailed, step-by-step account of how to use mediation to resolve conflicts of all kinds including family, divorce, labor-management, home-school, and landlord-tenant. He uses real-life examples to illustrate how to resolve even the most difficult disputes, showing what to do when strong emotions are involved, communication is poor, hidden agendas sidetrack negotiations, and deadlocks occur. The new edition has been expanded to cover contemporary issues in mediation practice, including the training, qualification, and certification of mediators, as well as such important new areas of application as community disputes, cross-cultural, international, and commercial mediation.
