Bringing Peace Into the Room examines the personal qualities
that make a mediator effective. The eminent authors of this volume
go beyond traditional descriptions of academic training,
theoretical orientation, and refinement of technique to confront
issues related to personal temperament and the crucial
psychological, intellectual and spiritual qualities of the
mediation professional— qualities that are often the most
potent elements of successful mediation. In this comprehensive
resource, Daniel Bowling and David Hoffman bring together a stellar
panel of practitioners, academics, teachers, and trainers in the
field— Michele LeBaron, Kenneth Cloke, Robert Benjamin, Don
Saposnek, Sara Cobb, Peter Adler, Jonathan Reitman, Lois Gold,
Marvin Johnson, and others— ¾who share their personal
experiences as mediators. Each contributor demonstrates that at the
very heart of conflict resolution is the subtle interaction between
the parties and the mediator's personal and authentic style.
