The Promise of Mediation cover

The Promise of Mediation

by Robert A. Baruch Bush

"The award-winning first edition of The Promise of Mediation, published ten years ago, is a landmark classic that changed the field's understanding of the theory and practice of conflict intervention." "In this new edition, the authors draw on a decade of work in theory development, training, practice, research, and assessment to present a thoroughly revised and updated account of the transformative model of mediation and its practical application." "This volume is a foundational resource on transformative practice, for both readers of the first edition and new readers - including mediators, facilitators, lawyers, administrators, human resource professionals, policymakers, and conflict resolution researches and educators. More generally, this book will strike a chord with anyone interested in humanizing our social institutions and building on a relational vision of society."--BOOK JACKET.
