New Directions in Mediation

This volume provides valuable new insights into the process of mediation from a communication perspective. The contributors: provide theoretical perspectives that increase an understanding of the ongoing interaction in mediation; reveal new ways to understand the structure of the intervention process; illustrate how specific communicative acts shape the realities of mediators and disputants, and influence the outcomes; suggest critical contextual factors that should be considered in order to guide mediation more effectively; and examine dialogue with practitioners about ways in which these ideas can be translated into practice.Folger, Joseph P. is the author of 'New Directions in Mediation' with ISBN 9780803955516 and ISBN 0803955510.
