Transformative Mediation
Brought to the forefront by Bush & Folger’s groundbreaking book The Promise of Mediation published in 1994, Transformative Mediation is a unique approach to conflict management. Unlike traditional problem-solving approaches to mediation, where the mediator directs outcomes, Transformative Mediation focuses on empowering parties in conflict to come together in mutual recognition, and identify their own mutually agreed upon solutions for solving their conflict.
