This book explores how experts of conflict management in the family field work, by taking a closer look at expertise, orthodoxy and the role of theory in the practice of mediation. The book promotes the act of viewing art as a valuable learning method for mediators to develop their intuitive sensibilities, problem solving ability and to learn to 'think out of the box'. Finally, it describes a constructive way of handling court cases in the family filed on basis of actual experiences with a new system introduced in Australia.
