RELEASED 2021:
A monograph authored by Anne C. Richards and published by Dancing Crows Press that explores implications of Perceptual Psychology for the field of mediation.
Title: Connecting the Dots: Rethinking Understandings of Mediator Effectiveness.
For many years, the search for understandings of mediator effectiveness has been approached by examining the strategies, techniques, methods, or behaviors of mediators in their practice of mediation. Yet research along these lines has not produced results distinguishing which practices are reliably associated with mediator effectiveness.
Connecting the dots found in a variety of sources, it seems likely that greater success will be found by grounding future research in theory focusing on exploration of the perceptions mediators bring to their work, including those about themselves, others, their understanding of the purposes of mediation, and their general approach to people – variables that have consistently and reliably been identified as indicators of effectiveness in studies of other helping professions.
