Synopsis: 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, including:

A compelling description of how the field has moved toward increasing acceptance of the transformative model.

A new and clearer presentation of the theory and practices of transformative mediation, with many concrete examples.

A new case study that provides a vivid picture of the model in practice, with a commentary full of new information about how to use it effectively.

Clarifications of common misconceptions about the model.

A Vision for the future that shows how the model can coexist with other approaches and where the "market" for transformative mediation is emerging.

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 researchers 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.
