Multidisciplinary Dynamics of Mediation

This book casts an analytical eye on the legal dynamics of mediation premised on a multidisciplinary approach. This is the very first book to meld mediation and applied psychology with a view to portray the myriad of cognitive biases with which the great bulk of legal actors grapple/tussle with in mediation settings. The overriding goal of this book is to provide a multidisciplinary, comprehensive, and full-fledged framework to legal dynamics of mediation while emphasizing the paramount importance of incorporative mediation to protect the fundamental rights of the weakest disputant in the room-something that has not been done yet. This book is the very first one to provide a framework/frame of reference to the usage of artificial intelligence in the remit of both mediation settings and Restorative Relationship Session (RRS).
