Synopsis:

Lawyer, lecturer, and consultant Friendman explains the principle of mediation: a triangle comprising husband, wife, and mediator, with the mediator taking neither side but rather interpreting and encouraging the needs of the other two parties. Features 12 real-life case studies that show how mediation has succeeded with a variety of personalities and situations.

From the Back Cover:

A BETTER CHOICE

For every couple planning a divorce, there is now an alternative to high legal fees, endless haggling, rancor, and recrimination. It's called divorce mediation, and no one is better able to explain how it works-and how it might work for you-than its foremost authority, Gary J. Friedman.

In this book filled with practical guidance and insight into negotiation, Gary Friedman details what each couple must bring to the mediator-motivation, responsibility, and a willingness to both agree and disagree. And he explains the mix of legal, psychological, and spiritual perspectives that the mediator offers in return.

The result: cause for hope.

INCLUDES TWELVE IN-DEPTH CASE STUDIES AND A RESOURCE GUIDE FOR FINDING MEDIATORS

"The author, an experienced attorney/mediator, has provided the reader with an invisible seat at the mediation table. A very helpful book for those considering mediation."

(Judith S. Wallerstein, Ph.D., author of Second Chances: Men, Women & Children a Decade After Divorce)
