This is the authoritative textbook on family mediation. As well as
mediators, this work will be indispensable for practitioners and
scholars across a wide range of fields, including social work and
law. It draws on a wide cross-disciplinary theoretical literature
and on the author's extensive and continuing practice experience.
It encompasses developments in policy, research and practice in the
UK and beyond. Roberts presents mediation as an aid to joint
decision-making in the context of a range of family disputes,
notably those involving children. Mediation is seen as a process of
intervention distinct from legal, social work and therapeutic
practice, drawing on a distinctive body of knowledge across
disciplinary fields including anthropology, psychology and
negotiation theory. Incorporating empirical evidence, the book
emphasizes the value of mediation in mitigating the harmful effects
of family breakdown and conflict. First published in 1988 as a
pioneering work, this third edition has been fully updated to
incorporate legal and policy developments in the UK and in Europe,
new sociological and philosophical perspectives on respect, justice
and conflict, and international research and practice innovations.
