Abstract
"The Mediation Handbook is an essential companion for anyone who is involved in mediation, whether as a mediator or as a party. The authors, who have been involved in a number f complex mediations, leverage best practices, theory, concepts and tools. At the same time practical and academically grounded, the book distills and critically analyzes the experience of reflective practitioners in the mediation field. It is systematically empathetic in its approach, seeking to accompany the readers in mediation so that they understand the causes and consequences of conflict, as well as ways of overcoming it constructively.
