Description
Conflict Resolution from a Psychological Perspective This book explores conflict resolution through mediation, examining the psychological aspects that influence dispute situations. It offers a unique blend of theoretical analysis and practical guidance, providing insights for both lawyers and non-lawyers seeking to resolve conflicts effectively. The authors argue that conflict is an inherent part of human experience, but can be managed and resolved with the right approach. They demonstrate how mediators can facilitate a shift in parties' attitudes towards conflict, leading to more effective resolutions. The book features three key tenets: that conflict cannot be eliminated, but can be worked with; the importance of the mediator's attitude; and the use of psychotherapeutic tools to achieve better outcomes. Through a series of mock mediations, the authors provide practical tips and guidance on navigating common dilemmas and pitfalls in mediation.
