Opis

In this revised edition, Mediation, Conciliation, and Emotions: The Role of Emotional Climate in Understanding Violence and Mental Illness, Ladd and Blanchfield take the emotions and conflict resolution found in the first edition to a new level of understanding. It covers such contemporary themes as violence and mental illness, and how they contribute to the rising number of violent conflicts taking place in this country and around the world. The first edition, Mediation, Conciliation, and Emotions: A Practitioner s Guide to Understanding Emotions in Dispute Resolution, was considered a groundbreaking book after its publication in 2005. This new edition discusses the under-researched topic of emotional climate and describes how important the climate or environment is when trying to understand violence and mental illness, and its impact on our society. New features include updated references, a discussion of contemporary violence and mental health, and comparisons between culture and climate in determining how conflicts evolve into violent acts. Mediation, Conciliation, and Emotions also describes how an effective mediator, conciliator or peacemaker approaches these conflicts."
