This subject builds on the introductory theory and practice presented in the subjects Dispute Resolution (79771) and Mediation Practice (78029) and draws on the expertise of experienced mediators. It concentrates on the micro-skills of mediation at an advanced level. And is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of skills, strategies and techniques used by experienced mediators and to explore a range of major mediation models.
Topics included for study are:
- micro-skills of mediation at an advanced level
- the skills and techniques used by experienced mediators
- a range of mediation models including co-mediation and the 'Understanding' model developed by Harvard Law School and the New York Centre for Mediation in Law
- the practice of narrative mediation and the concepts of externalising, deconstructing and careful listening
- the practice of forgiveness as a strategy in a mediation context.
The subject is taught in a three-day intensive mode with opportunities in selected exercises to develop reflective practice and understand the application of theory to mediation practice. Assessment includes a paper based on critiquing the theories and concepts explored in the course, a case study and a reflective journal.
