| On Becoming A Rationally Irrational Negotiator/Mediator: The ‘Messy’ Human Brain And The ‘Myth Of Rationality’ by Robert Benjamin Fair warning: this part, on the origins of rationalism, will likely be hard for most practitioners to read. The demands of earning a living and being practice focused leave little time or patience for what appears to be the study of abstract and esoteric topics such as appreciating the extent to which Western history, science, and philosophy have directly shaped the basic working assumptions that under gird negotiation and mediation practice and training. Given how deeply ingrained and pervasive the influence of rational thinking is in the cultural ethos, however, awareness is essential if the rationalist thinking is to be reconsidered and modified. |

Mediating Employment Disputes by Jeffrey J. Beaton We have received several questions concerning the approach to mediating disputes that arise in the workplace. We have found that mediation works well to resolve workplace disputes because it allows the parties to maintain a relationship while reducing adversarial tension and increasing the likelihood of a low cost/high benefit settlement. |
| Mediation In Romania by Zeno Daniel Sustac, Elena Bustea Custom is a second human nature and the Romanian justiciable has inoculated itself for years the concept that any misunderstanding should be resolved in a court of law. However, the opinion of the Romanian justiciable is about to change, due to mediation. |
| Parenting Plans For Special Needs Children by Dr. Lynne C. Halem All parenting situations are not the same. In particular, in families of children with special needs, the parenting plan needs to be crafted with great care. Here, parents need to think and re-think child-related situations that over the years have most challenged their coping mechanisms and include provisions for their interaction and oversight that deal specifically with these very targeted issues. |
