  1. TRANSPARENT MEDIATION GIVING AWAY OUR STRATEGIES DEMYSTIFYING CONCEPTS EMPOWERING PARTICIPANTS

  2. TRANSPARENT MEDIATION • How can mediators facilitate dialog to deal with the instant problem that brought the parties to the table? • AND • Also demonstrate/teach mediation communication skills that can be taken away and used in other settings?

  3. TRANSPARENT MEDIATION • SOME SKILLS THAT MIGHT BE REVEALED • AND PRACTICED BY PARTICIPANTS: • REFLECTION / ACTIVE LISTENING • AGENDA BUILDING • BRAINSTORMING • REACTIVE DEVALUATION • DELAYING REACTIONS TO OTHER PARTIES

  4. TRANSPARENT MEDIATION • POSSIBLE PROBLEMS WITH TM: • TRAINING REQUIRES ADDITIONAL TIME • TM MAY DISTRACT PARTIES FROM DEALING WITH PRIMARY PROBLEMS AND CONFLICTS • “NATURAL” FLOW MAY BE INTERRUPTED • PARTIES MAY RESENT LACK OF FOCUS ON THE PROBLEM THAT BROUGHT THEM TO TABLE

  5. TRANSPARENT MEDIATION • WHEN AND HOW CAN “TRAINING” BE BEST INJECTED INTO THE MEDIATION PROCESS: • TRAINING ALL PARTIES IN A JOINT SESSION BEFORE ACTUAL “MEDIATION” BEGINS.. BENEFITS OF THE “CONTACT HYPOTHESIS” • EXPLAINING MEDIATOR MOVES AT TIMES WHEN THEY MIGHT BE MOST USEFUL • INTRODUCING CONCEPTS DURING THE SESSION ACCORDING TO A PLAN. • PRECAUCUSING OR COACHING SEPARATELY.

  6. TRANSPARENT MEDIATION • SOME EXAMPLES: • EXPLAINING REACTIVE DEVALUATION TO SIBLINGS WHO ARE DISPUTING HOW TO DIVIDE UP A LARGE BEQUEST. • DEMONSTRATING REFLECTIONS, DELAYED REACTION, AND DEESCALATION TO A MUSIC GROUP.

  7. TRANSPARENT MEDIATION • RESEARCH/EVALUATION POSSIBILITIES: • Limited research to evaluate all kinds of practice. • Random assignment to TM compared with other treatments or conditions • Consideration of dependent variables (measurements of effects)
