Jay Folberg is Professor and former Dean at the University of
San Francisco School of Law. He served as president of the
Association of Family and Conciliation Courts and the Academy of
Family Mediators, as well as chair of the ADR Section of the
Association of American Law Schools. Professor Folberg was honored
by the California Judicial Council for his leadership in
alternative dispute resolution and received the Academy of Family
Mediators' Distinguished Mediator Award and the Mediation Society's
Distinguished Contribution to Mediation Award.
Ann L. Milne is in private practice in Madison, Wisconsin, as a
family and divorce mediator. She served as Executive Director of
the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts and is currently
on the faculty of the Department of Professional Development and
Applied Studies at the University of Wisconsin.
Peter Salem is Executive Director of the Association of Family and
Conciliation Courts and teaches mediation at Marquette University
Law School. He formerly served as director and mediator at
Mediation and Family Court Services in Rock County, Wisconsin. Mr.
Salem has produced educational and training videotapes on mediation
and divorce.
Folberg et al. have gathered into one comprehensive volume the
experience, conceptual frameworks, and opinions of a large group of
leaders who have emerged in the family mediation field over the
past 25 years. These interdisciplinary authors provide in-depth
views of multiple aspects of contemporary family and divorce
mediation. Examined are different mediation models that are now
practiced in diverse settings; techniques and strategies for
managing communication, power, impasses, and common elements of the
mediation process; and ways to deal with such special issues as
domestic violence and working with children. This book will be
enormously useful to students of dispute resolution, mediation
trainers, and novice and experienced mediators seeking more clarity
in an ever-expanding and changing field.--Joan B. Kelly, PhD,
psychologist and past president, Academy of Family Mediators
A terrific book--easily the best, most comprehensive text of its
kind that I have seen. Having participated in the first family
mediation in the Los Angeles County Conciliation Court in the early
1970's, I think this text marks the maturation of family mediation
and defines it as an established profession. Included are
contributions from most of the most respected and successful family
mediators, beginning with basic theory and leading up to tangible
advice about establishing a practice. Because of its breadth and
depth, this is an excellent introductory text. It would be my first
choice as a text in the training program for mediators we developed
when I was the director of the Oregon Family Institute. It could
also be used in courses dealing with families in transition within
schools of social work or law and within a range of programs in
mental health.--Hugh McIsaac, LCSW, Director (ret.), Oregon Family
Institute, past Editor, Family and Conciliation Courts Review
A landmark work in the field of conflict resolution. The authors,
premier practitioners in family mediation, present a comprehensive
overview of theories and approaches that can be successfully
applied to resolve domestic disputes. They also share practical and
effective strategies for addressing thorny issues, reaching
agreements, and transforming conflict relationships for the good.
This book should be read by experienced family mediators, and is
highly suitable as an academic text to train the next generation of
intermediaries.--Christopher Moore, PhD, author of The Mediation
Process
- A comprehensive text for practitioners and educators in the
fields of divorce and family mediation....This book is well
written, covers many important topics, and appeals to both
practitioners and educators....Advanced-level practitioners will
find it an excellent review....Represents an excellent contribution
to the literature on divorce and family mediation. --The Family
Journal, 5/14/2004ƒƒ A comprehensive overview of family mediation
that exposes readers to a variety of styles and intervention
strategies....If this text were supplemental reading for mediators
in training, our future mediators would have greater exposure to
other perspectives, allowing them to modify their approach based
upon the unique needs of families rather than hold to a purist's
narrow view. --Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy,
5/14/2004ƒƒ The chapter authors are leaders and innovators in
family mediation, and professionals who work in social work,
psychology, law, family health, and psychiatry. The editors have
done a superb job in merging diverse writing styles and making
certain that language which is particular to one discipline is
translated so that all disciplines can understand it. This is a
book which is practical and which will be useful to students as
well as experienced practitioners in a field that is expanding and
changing. I have no doubt that it is a historic landmark text, one
which will be cited many times in the future. --Bulletin of the
