William A. (“Bill”) Eddy is a lawyer, therapist and mediator, and the President of the High Conflict Institute based in San Diego, California. Mr. Eddy provides training on the subject of high-conflict personalities to lawyers, mediators, judges, mental health professionals and others. He has presented in over 25 states, several provinces in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France and Sweden. He obtained his law degree in 1992 from the University of San Diego, a Master of Social Work degree in 1981 from San Diego State University, and a Bachelors degree in Psychology in 1970 from Case Western Reserve University.

 

This 2-day training for attorneys, attorney/mediators, mediators and social workers will focus on acquiring an understanding of high conflict behavior and personalities and learning and practicing advanced skills for managing high conflict behavior. The training will include lecture, demonstrations and practice exercises that will provide mediators with methods to calm upset clients, reduce their resistance to problem solving, and then help to focus them on managing and resolving their conflicts. Bill Eddy, a renowned California lawyer and mediator, will share his methods and then orchestrate and lead role play demonstration exercises that will allow attorneys, attorney/mediators, mediators, and social workers to utilize these new skills in a series of role play practice sessions.

High conflict disputes are increasing in every setting of society, including more legal disputes large and small. They often involve one or more individuals with a pattern of high conflict behavior, characterized by: all-or-nothing thinking, unmanaged emotions, extreme behavior, preoccupation with blaming others, prolonged, unresolved conflict, drawing in many other people, and draining energy, time and resources. Yet, these disputes can be effectively managed by understanding high conflict behavior and using a specific set of conflict resolution skills when working with these high conflict clients.

 

Testimonial by Ronnie Beach: Bill Eddy has had a profound impact on my work. Dealing with cases in small claims court, working with families or working with elders; this training may have helped me the most. We all deal with people that have unique personalities or challenging traits. He will help you understand them better and be more effective in working with these individuals.
