Conflict Resolution for the Helping Professions: Negotiation, Mediation, Advocacy, Facilitation, and Restorative Justice

Autor Allan Barsky
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 feb 2017
When people think of conflict, they often think of fights, wars, arguments, hot tempers, and hurtful consequences. Conflict Resolution for the Helping Professions provides helping professionals with the theory, strategies, and skills they need to deal with conflict in a manner that is
respectful, collaborative, and constructive. This text illustrates how helping professionals can incorporate evidence-based models of conflict resolution to work more effectively and enjoyably with clients, coworkers, supervisors, and others. Practitioners will learn how to respond effectively when
others use power, positions, and competition. Whereas many conflict resolution texts focus on one method or approach to practice, this textbook provides practitioners with various models that they can incorporate in their roles as negotiators, counselors, mediators, facilitators, advocates, and
peacebuilders.

Special features of this book include:
� Case illustrations that connect theory to practice in fields such as criminal justice, family disputes, health, mental health, education, and public policy.
� Role-play exercises that provide opportunities to link self-awareness.
� Step-by-step guides to implementing various approaches to negotiation, mediation, and advocacy.
� New and emerging forms of conflict resolution, including online dispute resolution, conflict coaching, and parenting coordination.
� Preparation tools that allow practitioners to assess conflict situations and determine the best strategies and approaches for managing conflict.
� Strategies for enhancing mindfulness, enabling practitioners to respond to conflict in a deliberate, kind, nonjudgmental, peaceful, assertive, and effective manner.

Recenzii

With the recent proliferation of graduate and postgraduate programs aimed at training professionals to practice dispute resolution as an alternative to court, this book remains relevant and an important source for educating aspiring students to work in this challenging and rewarding field of practice. Dr. Barsky is well suited for this task as a renowned scholar, expert in the field of conflict resolution, clinician, and educator.
This book is an engaging, insightful, and invigorating treatise offering a broad array of teaching and learning resources for educators and practitioners in multiple disciplines... As Barsky rightly explains in the preface to his book, the field of conflict resolution today has evolved and expanded to a wide range of professional contexts locally and internationally. Given the current pervasive climate of complex conflict situations throughout life, escalated bytrauma, incomprehensible violence, negative peace, and a fight for resources, the search and effort for positive peace is consciously growing at multiple levels. Especially for those of us in the human service professions, this book offers a renewed focus and an incentive to craft interventions towardpositive peace using what it has to offer.
In [the book], [Barsky] offers a comprehensive, in-depth application of the theory and practice of conflict resolution to the work of helping professionals. Barsky travels both deeply and widely in this work...
With the third edition, Dr. Barsky has provided essential updates in mindfulness, restorative justice, and online dispute resolution while still maintaining the core of negotiation and mediation theories and their application to practice. Social workers, mental health counselors, marriage and family therapists, psychologists and pastoral counselors will find Conflict Resolution for the Helping Professions both an invaluable antidote and a practice guidebookto helping professionals transform conflict in their clinical and administrative practice from crisis to opportunity
Conflict Resolution for the Helping Professions provides both students and conflict resolution practitioners with a clear, concise guide to understanding, assessing and addressing conflict across professional domains. Allan Barsky blends a broad survey of scholarly research with a wide variety of practical applications drawn from today's headlines, all the while expertly modeling the language and communication skills so needed by helping professionals. As apractitioner, I found the exercises at the end of each section to be thought-provoking and challenging. I highly recommend this interesting, informative, and useful text." - Rick Lewis, MPS, Specialist, School Climate Initiatives, School District of Palm Beach County, FL
