THE AUTHORS
John Winslade and Gerald Monk are leading figures in the narrative therapy movement and counselors of narrative mediation at the Waikato Mediation Services in Hamilton, New Zealand. They are the coauthors of Narrative Therapy in Practice (Jossey-Bass, 1997) and Narrative Counseling in Schools (1999).
"A groundbreaking book bringing together ideas of social
constructionist theory, narrative therapy, and mediation. The
authors develop a very clear framework toward understanding this
approach with case examples provided. I found this book useful to
me both as a practitioner and as a researcher." (Jerry Gale,
director, MFT Doctoral Program, Department of Child and Family
Development, The University of Georgia, Co-PI Mediator Skills

"An important "must-read" for anyone who is contemplating
mediation. John Winslade and Gerald Monk are consummately qualified
to bring us this book that is rich in a social constructionist
understanding and revolutionary in approach. Focusing on stories of
respect, mutuality, consideration, and support, their suggestions
can only lead to new possibilities of peaceful coexistence--on both
personal and global levels." (Victoria C. Dickerson, cofounder,
planet-therapy.com and coauthor, If Problems Talked: Narrative
Therapy in Action)
