conflict resolution
as a field how it has changed

as a professsional field

15-16 yrs ago it started as a community collaboration
the starting
of this program
mediation evolved as something that atorneys became interested in

clogging up the courts---rather than clog the legal system
a movement of attorneys
something that exists informally
as a way to license their conflicts, remember the conflict management continuum
before engage the formality of the legal process

highlly skilled practitioners as attorneys

com. volunt.
as activists
instead of engaging more formal methods
atty
and comm volunteers


as it emerged as an academic discipline
bc so interdisciplinary
the larger umbrella

whether it is really its own discipline

but there was also concern that a masters CR program would create a glut of masters in CR people
highly skilled

5 cents mediation
people wont avail themselves of this

we hire attorneys
but we dont yet have a professional class of mediators

encourage people to do a masters

these are skills that will augment yr skills
labor of love

this has changed over yrs
marked change
now work in field in many ways
HR
skill set
and then go back to former field---but some find jobs in comm services and comm developmt
and develop
policy
solutions
comm develop
specific issues

professional phenomenon.

working in the field
still valuable
child protective services

fist thesis
DHS mediation with families
biased facilitation of process

they needed skilled mediators to make sure students needs were being met
two dozen students employed


program started by a CR student
justice served
unbiased third party

hybrid version
study of space
lighting
feng shui
!!!!!!
coloration

conflictual postures looking at eachother
is table a circle or a square

luxury of a space
be aware of how space and color and design influence things

ground rules
review process of mediation

one party goes first
fifteen or five minutes
charged
overtly angry

this is why you are here
this is what is going on.

i heard you say
listening skills as a mediator
questions
clarifying questions
ask if they understood the other person

investigate that
discussion

why everyone is there
brainstorm solutions
underlying interests
reach an intermediate agreement other parties
even if it is not fianl
and hav a closinging


responsibilities of mediator
listen
do not roll their eyes
we go to help bc we are stuck
put judgement voices on hold

create capacity for them to listen
if they could listen to each other they could also use your help
clarify communication thru active listening
primary skills as a mediator
is to ask Q

open ended Q
draw out.
why feel that way.

or closed ended Q to quiet down

sounds like yr frustrated.
yeah.

is this an issue we are here to take on?
primary concern.
change
other thing?
safe engaged and willing . . .
mediation is only effective when . . .
if you are not willing to engage

then do you need time
should we break for 10 minutes
caucusing
how about if we take a break
i meet with you for 5
and you for 5
and see if it is volatile too much so

shuttle diplomacy
too volatile
caucus
shuttle diplomat

non-groovy
facts rather than transformation
bc things are too volatile
this is all you can get---
up from avoidance

power differential
romantic partnership pro and anti dog
ownership vs. friend
allergy
socialization
dog food
hypoallergenic
vegan dog food
allergy resistant dog breeds
would you be interested in dogs

not solving the problem
share information
risky

it could seem like you are siding with the person who wants the dog


herbal treatment for allergies
difference of opinion

health
didn’t realize
bioaccumulation
euthanized pets

no reasons
how do you get underneath that
liability--violent dog attack---

not going off focus
triangulation
cat is like their grandchild---they love the grandfather

drives her nuts
important to---looking for someone

love and appreciate

work at a dog shelter
creative possibilities!!!!

nonviolent communication
we have human needs universal
but unique ways of meeting the needs

is porn
a way to relate to sexual needs
addiction taking you away from relationship

clever about marshall rosenberg system
pedophilia
needs??????

validation
for sexual abuse as a child
abuse horror on face

looking for validation that pedophilia is wrong
strategy to meet are needs are twisted

curiosity to the process
a lot of different ways to have needs met
how we can get our needs met
in a way that doesn’t get our needs met

find a different way to meet the needs

age of entitlement
if i want it, i can have it
get the dog
how do you find a different strategy

person harmed by strategy
bias

dog-lover so you know the options

as problem solver
creating a brain storm session

unattached session
curious aspect
toss it in to the mix

here are some ideas

nothing you can do about it
in a friendly conversation you can make a suggestion

common
totally over the top about

a lot of different ways
sounds like you are really upset

do you need to vent yr frustration
focus on the underlying intersts or it could lead to hyperspace

pressing for you
mediations supervised many where there is no way to continue with this mediation

separate
or talk separately
how much stay involved

abusive person in the room
bc abusing the mediator all parties

it was a valuable learning experience
incredible learning experience
opted not to continue to process

resolution, transformation

work through some of these issues
transformative mediation more therapeutic

there could be a therapeutic side
but it is not the job of the mediator

bias
neutrality

western model
neutrality assumed
unbiased
a little problematic bc informal mediation
non-western models of mediation

elder in both parties
we aren’t neutral

we side with one
judgements
even if you don’t want to
mediators have inherent bias

job is to create space for solutions
try not to bias

impartiality not true neutrality

social liberation mediation

argue for  the party with less power


if asked you could share

if one is annoying try not to act on that

if there is an immediate bias
it will come out
create space
not in a relationship with these people
i am here to help facilitate

wow--the philosophical aspects of humanity

what are you going to do with this
agree to disagree
isolate and define the problem

parties in conflict after slogging thru the quicksand
of grieving end of a friendship
and
you are her for end of business relationship

need for logistical closure
mutual understanding

job as mediator
frame of reference

what if there is fear of the relationship becoming abusive
caucus
is there a threat

for disclosure
tumultuous needs for parents
but never that sense of danger

victim defender mediation

mediator
identify human needs
silent

underlying needs
get them to recognize themselves
no
keep moving
dont perseverate on
perseverate on
things you ask then
try something else

trying to be a facilitator
hard to remember

problem solving mediation
the opening is there for either one
you are there ostensible to express concerns

comfort

start from a more transformative stance
transform

not what they ask for
certification
for liability
malpractice


no organizing body
hang shingle
for better or worse

jobplace invite in
rules of the org
for mandatory reporting
