Die Achtsamkeit des Mediators

This book is the first to provide a comprehensive theoretical and practical introduction to adopting an attentive attitude in mediation. Through this attitude, a mediator can directly recognize the reality (of conflict) of a situation, which is ultimately real, without losing himself in automatic habitual reactions, self-interpretations or blind spots. In this way, the ethos of a professional mediator, which is characterised by an empathic presence and genuine neutrality, emerges naturally and spontaneously. Both lead him to consistent and authentic actions that are fully congruent with what is concretely appropriate and useful. In short, an attentive mediator can actually be a mediator in a relaxed and caring way, rather than just acting like a mediator: In fact, he is an intuitively knowledgeable expert.
Dr. Wolfgang Paul Reutter MM is a mediator, lawyer and philosopher of law. He works as a mediator for families, companies and universities.
