"The Mediator's Handbook" 2nd edition (Ruth Charlton & Micheline Dewdney)
Written by two of Australia's most experienced mediators, this is designed as a "how to" manual of mediation which takes the reader step-by-step through the mediation process and discusses the most appropriate strategies for particular contexts. Also provides helpful hints in the form of checklists, comments and case notes.
“Everyone Can Win, Responding to Conflict Constructively” 2nd Edition (Helena Cornelius & Shoshana Faire with Estella Cornelius)
The completely revised and updated second edition to this classic book on conflict resolution, provides the essentials for handling personal and workplace difficulties with emotional intelligence. With its friendly and uplifting advice, stories, exercises and proven techniques, Everyone Can Win teaches collaborative and compassionate problem-solving. This second edition adds new material featuring response rather than reaction, handling difficult people and personalities, clashes of values and the pitfalls and solutions to power issues.
"Mediating with Families", 2nd Edition ( Linda Fisher & Mieke Brandon)
Offers unique insights into the theory and practice of family mediation in Australia. Provides expanded commentary on pre-mediation and mediation processes and extends the discussion on child-inclusive practice, mediation of financial and property matters, and family violence. This new edition also includes information on conciliation, collaborative practice, family law conferences, and amendments to the Family Law Act 1975.
"Getting to Yes" (Roger Fisher, William Ury & Bruce Patton)
Provides principles which are a guide to negotiating, in particular: bargaining over positions, separating the people from the problem, focussing on interests not positions, investing options for mutual gain, objective criteria, power, and overcoming tricks of the players.
The book presents the practical skills necessary to operate in this area of law and a solid analysis of the theory. The work reports on the continuing growth and transformation of ADR and conflict management approaches in Australia and overseas and takes note of developments since the 2nd edition in new legislation, new accreditation standards, online DR and the emergence of relational approaches to conflict. It also includes a chapter on collaborative practice, a greater focus on negotiation and updates on the latest research in the ADR field.
DVD or video
"Sous Chef or Sue Chef?" (LEADR)
More than just a clever play on words, this video, produced by LEADR and featuring Sir Laurence Street as the mediator, dramatically demonstrates how mediation works, the role of lawyers in mediation and the skill of the mediator. The video is unique in the market place and provides an excellent insight for mediators, potential clients, interested parties and those studying mediation. It demonstrates a complex dispute, a complex solution and the skills and process of mediation.
