Transformative Approach To Mediation

In my opinion, both of the authors combine their knowledge and experience to answer these questions sufficiently and as deductive as possible. They present examples and in dept discuss two case studies that speak for their purpose. The book is intended for those who work in the mediation field. Despite somewhat difficult language and vocabulary used throughout the book, even average person who is interested in understanding mediation will be attracted by it.
