Evaluative, facilitative, transformative: three types of mediation
from Crafting Solutions to Conflict Hosted by Jane Beddall
In mediation, an impartial person helps the people involved to reach an agreement that works for them. Mediation is often said to consist of three main types.Some mediators stick quite closely to one approach. Others feel comfortable favoring one or another in different situations. The lines can blur in practice more than they do in theory. Broadly speaking, the main “types” are evaluative, facilitative, and transformative. Transformative is the least well-known of them. A fourth, narrative mediation, pops up occasionally in discussions in the conflict resolution field. Their names describe them well. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?
