| Abstract: | Scholars and practitioners of mediation have generally paid little attention to the development of theoretical frameworks for understanding what is taking place in the mediation process By "borrowing" from stages of adult psychological development theory (in this scheme, physical; hedonistic/impulsive, conformist/authority- seeking, rational/individualistic; and integrative), the authors can better understand some of the behaviors that people exhibit in mediation and perhaps find ways to help parties expand their behavioral repertoires so that new avenues for resolution appear to them. Using frequent examples from mediation practice, the author describes each stage, then assesses the limits and possibilities of relating this theoretical framework to mediation. |
