This book outlines a postmodern, social constructionist philosophy as an efficacious approach to addressing conflict in familial and community contexts. The premise of the book is that conflict arises within cultural contexts that have a direct bearing on how parties construct their perceptions of a particular event. The major thrust of the book is theoretical in nature, as it represents a significant shift in mediation philosophy and epistemology. Specifically, this book presents an alternative paradigm to the interest-based problem-solving models that are prominent within the field of conflict resolution and mediation. Despite its focus on explicating narrative theory as it relates to mediation, the book does present numerous practical applications of the new approach. It has been widely circulated in the mediation community. It is presently being translated into Spanish (Licensee: Edic Granca) and will be published in 2003.
