Family mediation

Howard H. Irving

Family mediation has quickly become a significant means of legal dispute resolution, recognized in most North American jurisdictions as a relief to already overburdened judicial systems. Using an innovative practical approach, the authors of Family Mediation incorporate the pivotal principals of family therapy into this new context - the judicial realm of family mediation.

The practice model - therapeutic family mediation - thoroughly treats history specific issues, and practice in an ecosystemic approach and responds to the feminist critique of mediation.
