3. What we are really talking about is
mediation…
A process for achieving resolution between parties
subject to a dispute with the aid of an
impartial/neutral third party, where the third party
has no authority to impose a resolution and where
the parties subject to the dispute accept the
resolution voluntarily.

4. Types of Mediation
Transformative
Evaluative
Facilitative/Interest Based
www.yoursocialworker.com
5. Transformative
Empowerment and mutual recognition over
resolution
Settlement is less the goal than the parties
recognizing one and other’s needs and
issues.
Theoretically or paradoxically, settlement
may thus occur when not the focus.
(Sounds Rogerian in design)

6. Evaluative
Respective positions are heard and
assessed by mediator who then advises on
likely outcomes with the view of reaching
a settlement.

7. Facilitative/Interest Based
Seeks a mutually acceptable outcome
May provide advice
Active listening important
Self-determination important
Meeting mutual interests over exclusive
positions is key

9. Domestic Violence
Can a party who is scared or intimidated or
threatened negotiate or be said to enjoy self-
determination?
Screening for domestic violence and power
imbalances…

18. Position vs. Interest
So what’s the difference?
There was once only one orange left in a
kitchen and two prominent chefs were
fighting over it.
"I need that orange !"
"Yes, but I need that orange as well !"
www.yoursocialworker.com
19. Position vs. Interest
So what’s the difference?
Time was running out and they both needed an
orange to finish their particular recipes for the
President's dinner. They decided on a
compromise: they grabbed one of the large
kitchen knives that was lying around, split the
orange in half, and each went to his corner to
finish preparing his meal.

20. Position vs. Interest
So what’s the difference?
One chef squeezed the juice from the orange
and poured it into the special sauce he was
making. It wasn't quite enough, but it would
have to do. The other grated the peel and
stirred the scrapings into the batter for his
famous cake. He too didn't have as much as he
would have liked, but given the situation, what
else could he have done ?
www.yoursocialworker.com
21. Position vs. Interest
So what’s the difference?
The better solution may seem obvious to you
now: both chefs would have been better off if
they had peeled the orange and had simply
taken the part they needed. Instead, the chefs
had focused on each other's position (the what)
and not on each other's interest (the why).

22. Compromise vs. Prioritize:
What’s the difference in negotiations?
Compromise Prioritize
◦ Lose to win ◦ Play to what’s important
◦ Give something up ◦ Not giving anything up
◦ Feel like you’ve lost ◦ Feel accomplished
something
