註釋Because the intervention of a neutral third party is currently gaining favor as an alternative form of dispute resolution, this book explores the process of mediation in the context of managing struggle and examines some of the characteristics of mediators, their training and ethics, and the techniques and skills of good mediation. The theory section of the book contains three chapters dealing respectively with basic concepts and contexts, origins and development of mediation, and the mediator. The chapters in the section on practice are as follows: (1) "The Mediator in Action"; (2) "Phases in the Mediation Process"; (3) "Mediator Behaviors: Relationships, Processes, and Strategies"; (4) "Power and the Mediator"; (5) "You Are the Mediator: a Summary of Suggestions"; and (6)"Helping the Parties Use Mediation." The five appendixes include simulated cases for mediation, mediation analysis and evaluation forms, special exercises for mediators-to-be, a section on special projects, and a sample agreement between parties coming to mediation. Eighty-one references are included. (Skc).
