Offline (Print) Sources Bush, Robert A. Baruch. "Efficiency and Protection, or Empowerment and Recognition?: The Mediator's Role and Ethical Standards in Mediation." Florida Law Review 41:2, 1989. "In this article, the author presented the concepts of 'empowerment and recognition' for the first time, based in part on the work of earlier scholars in the mediation field. The context is a critique of then-existing codes of mediator ethics, all of which failed to ground themselves on a coherent conception of the mediator's unique and essential role. The author argues that, while other processes can promote efficiency and protect rights, only mediation can foster self-determination and mutual understanding. These unique capacities of mediation, it is argued, should be viewed as the core values of the process and the anchoring point for the mediator's responsibilities. While the 'transformative' terminology is not used in this article, those interested in the historical development of the transformative framework will find this article valuable." --From Institute for the Study of Conflict Management Noce, Dorothy J. Della. "Seeing Theory in Practice: An Analysis of Empathy in Mediation." 15:3, July 1999. The author asks whether and how ideology affects mediator practice. She describes the individualist ideology that supports problem-solving approaches to mediation, and the relational ideology that informs transformative approaches. Primary Link Bush, Robert A. Baruch and Joseph P. Folger. The Promise of Mediation: Responding to Conflict Through Empowerment and Recognition. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass, September 1, 1994. This book is the seminal work on the subject of transformative mediation. In exploring the transformative potential of mediation, the authors contrast their perspective on the practice of mediation with the more traditional problem-solving approach. They believe empowerment and recognition among participants, should be the primary goals of the mediation process. It is argued that these effects are more valuable in the long-term than the immediate settlement of a dispute.
