Let Them Vent!

In this blog entry I discuss how I heard a retired judge / mediator say that he likes to let the parties in a probate dispute vent.  I describe why, for me, though I certainly support parties in expressing anger if they like, I don't look at that as "letting" them "vent".

Should Mediators Evaluate Clients' "Capacity to Mediate"?

If you assume that a mediator's job is to guide parties toward an agreement, it makes sense to first confirm that the parties are capable of standing up for themselves.  My latest blog entry explains why, especially in the transformative model, a mediator has no business screening someone out due to lack of capacity.
