This book explains the true humanistic nature of mediation: its respect for the individual, and its belief in the individual's ability to reason, understand, and approach a problem with sensitivity and good faith. If one sees mediation as a process through which the mediator helps to induce the participants' enlightened self-interest, then this book will be an invaluable resource in succeeding in that process. This is a superb manual and a worthy tribute both to the work of John Michael Haynes and to the field of mediation.
