Paul Randolph

The Psychology of Conflict (eBook, ePUB)

Mediating in a Diverse World

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Paul Randolph applies philosophy and psychology to the practice of mediating between people in conflict.

This practical guide, with a foreword by Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, will assist those interested in conflict resolution to better understand the psychological processes of parties in conflict and mediation.

As Randolph argues, psychology is increasingly perceived by lawyers as a vital tool for resolving conflicts in the litigation environment, whether in commercial, family, community or employment disputes.

With an ever-growing demand for mediators across international borders, the psychologically-informed mediator can also provide much needed facilitation in global trade and peace negotiations, as well as being invaluable in helping to resolve a variety of political and international conflicts.
