In this pre-recorded webinar, Greg Rooney examines the culture of family mediation in France and Denmark with a focus on the Humanistic Mediation approach (France) and the Viking Mediation approach (Denmark).
He explores how underneath these differing approaches is the challenge of dealing with the head and the heart and the "intellectual and emotional" - within mediation.
This webinar recording examines:
- developing an understanding of the challenges and advantages of the Humanistic Mediation approach developed in France.
- understanding the more directive Viking Mediation approach developed in Denmark.
- how to analyse an outline of complexity theory and how it applies to the role of the mediator in family mediation.
- understanding the importance of the mediator interacting with the parties rather than analysing their behaviour.
- understanding the importance of the mediation intake session.
