The Making of a Mediator : Developing Artistry in Practice

Summary: Artistry in Practice
Review: The Making of a Mediator is not just for the mediation professional. It offers insights for everyone who has conflicts and conversations that require negotiations. The authors, Lang and Taylor, posit "artistry" as a way to transcend boundaries and find creative solutions for resolving difficulties. They skillfully chart the course from novice to artist with exemplary practice mediation sessions. I found particularly apt their metaphor of a journey that involves the on-going process of reflection, learning, understanding, and exploration.
