John Winslade & Gerald D. Monk 
Practicing Narrative Mediation [EPUB ebook] 
Loosening the Grip of Conflict

Practicing Narrative Mediation provides mediation
practitioners with practical narrative approaches that can be
applied to a wide variety of conflict
resolution situations. Written by John Winslade and Gerald
Monk–leaders in the narrative therapy movement–the book
contains suggestions and illustrative examples for applying the
proven narrative technique when working with restorative
conferencing and mediation in organizations, schools, health care,
divorce cases, employer and employee problems, and civil and
international conflicts. Practicing Narrative Mediation also
explores the most recent research available on discursive
positioning and exposes the influence of the moment-to-moment
factors that are playing out in conflict situations. The authors
include new concepts derived from narrative family work such as
‚absent but implicit, ‚ ‚double listening, ‚ and ‚outsider-witness
practices.‘
