“Mediation Therapy: Short-Term Decision Making for Relationships in Conflict"
Self Published by Xan-Edu Publishing Company, Paperback, 2000
Available at 1-800-459-2679 or Millerwise@comcast.net
Combining a therapeutic approach with skills drawn from mediation, conflict resolution and decision making theory, this practical sourcebook shows mental health professionals how to help couples and their families reach a decision about their future through a sensitive, structured intervention. Mediation Therapy details proven techniques and strategies to help clients understand their own needs and to increase their ability to see the other's points of view. Wiseman's approach is uniquely designed to facilitate the process through which couples and families can come to a conclusion--one that is fully explored, completely understood, and responsibly made. This thoughtfully written, accessible guide:
• Provides questions for therapists to reflect upon, to help them discover their own values and how those values may affect their therapeutic work
• Describes the latest research on the effects of separation and divorce on children and adolescents and how to use this information in the decision making process.
• Details 20 "rational" questions and many intuitive and sensory questions to help individuals "discover" a decision, not obsessively "figure out what to do".
• Includes accessible charts that delineate how relationships develop and outlines patterns of family conflict
