This subject builds on the introductory theory and practice presented in the subjects Dispute Resolution and Mediation Practice. This subject provides an overview and examination of a range of innovative mediation processes that have recently been developed to demonstrate the wide theoretical bases underpinning the development and application of mediation practice. Mediation models including Narrative, Transformative, Relational, Holistic, Insight and Bio-ethical are studied as well as culturally significant models that have been developed. The philosophies, theories and practice attaching to these models is also examined in the context of the diversity of their originating disciplines, including psychology, anthropology, sociology, theology and contemporary community norms.
