Methodology in Action: On Consistency, Accuracy and Proficiency in Mediation

Abstract

Over seventeen years have passed since the first edition of Bush & Folger’s The Promise of Mediation. Edited by Bush and Folger together with Dorothy Della Noce, Transformative Mediation: A Sourcebook offers a new and important contribution to the ADR field, demonstrating how mediation scholarship can further develop mediation proficiency. This book review describes the strengths and innovative perspectives brought by some of the authors, as well as the places where further research can help enrich the dialogue between the transformative approach and other forms of ADR practices.

Keywords: transformative mediation, ADR
