Scott C. Docherty

I am Scott C. Docherty. I live and work in Glasgow as a lawyer, and before I moved on to other projects, was accredited by the Law Society of Scotland in family mediation, was a convener of CALM Scotland, a member of the Family Law Association, Vice Chair of Scottish Mediation (and Chair of its Promotions Committee and Peer Mediation Working Group), and was the first lawyer mediator in Scotland to be trained in direct consultation with children in family mediation ("child inclusive mediation"). I was also a member of the Family Mediation Accreditation Panel of the Law Society of Scotland. In my spare time, amongst other things I run Venger's Decks and weekly tabletop roleplaying games.

Venger's Guide To Mastering Chaos At The Table (Run Tabletop Roleplaying Games With Confidence):

This book guides you, as a new or seasoned dungeon or game master, through a brief history and theory of chaos, randomness, and improvisation in the multiverse of tabletop roleplaying, before walking you through techniques for embracing the unknown in your fantasy or futuristic games, helping you grow a little more comfortable with not knowing what's going to happen in your sessions from one moment to the next.

Why Do We Keep Arguing? (And How To Stop):

This book is about what's kicking off in your brain in the lead up to and during difficult conversations, focusing on big picture neuroscience conveyed in a light-hearted, approachable manner. It's intended to encourage and trigger fundamental change not only in you, but also in the world of conflict beyond.

How To Talk To Your Kids About Separation:

I was formerly a mediator, and specialist in family mediation. I worked every day with separating couples looking to resolve their issues together on their own terms instead of face to face in court. I champion the use of mediation and other techniques to resolve your separation disputes, encouraging you to take control of your own future and that of your kids by looking at your new life more from their eyes.
