Mediation

Takes mediation beyond the family arena into a broader context.This mediation how-to manual brings together the collective wisdom of two of the field's most renowned founders, John Michael Haynes and Larry Sun Fong. The book not only covers a range of mediation cases, but also uniquely provides feedback from the clients as they reflect on the sessions and report on what worked best for them.Beginning with a review of the theoretical underpinnings of the Haynes model of mediation, the book then presents six case studies with each demonstrating one or more of the organizing principles of mediation. The sessions examined reflect the different mediation areas currently being practiced-business, employment, neighborhood, adoption, education, and family.>John Michael Haynes (1932-1999) was President of Haynes Mediation Training Institute, Founding President of the Academy of Family Mediators, and served as a consultant to court systems throughout the world. He appeared on numerous national television shows and authored several books, including The Fundamentals of Family Mediation, also published by SUNY Press. Gretchen L. Haynes, now retired, was Director of the Writing Center and Assistant Professor of English at Queensborough Community College, City University of New York. Larry Sun Fong is a psychologist in private practice, a chartered mediator, and a registered family mediator.
