Evaluative Mediation

Decent Essays
I think that evaluative mediation is a very good mediation method to have chosen to discuss this week. A lot of times in a case, both parties usually get tied up in their emotions and don't really listen to what the other person have to say or what they have to contribute to the case. This result in them just trying to take each other to court, where they end of spending thousands of dollars in lawyers and court fees. This is when it is best to have a evaluative mediator there to evaluate both parties stories and identify their strength and weaknesses and see if they can come to an agreements before wasting time in court.

    Second, arbitration comes with no provision to appeal what parties involved may feel is a “bad decision.” Some turn away from arbitration for these reasons and instead turn to mediation. This process allows the disputants to maintain control of the process, the costs associated with the issue, and the final outcome (rather than the lawyers as in arbitration). Mediation, as an alternative dispute resolution or ADR, is increasing in popularity for these reasons and because it shows results.…

    Consider mediators who conduct mediations as a primary part of their practice. A mediator that mediates several times a week will have more experience than one who volunteers once a month at a local mediation center.

    This class has been a great experience for me and the most important thing that I learned in class came from the young adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood interviews. Linking the interviews with the person I interviewed with the theories related to that age had help me become aware of how I will use these theories in practicing social work in all areas. Now that I am aware of the theories I seek out the person I am working with the past history of their life from childhood to now. Each human experience is different and important to know when working with an individual. For example, in the middle adulthood interview, Shawn had a good relationship with his children that were very important to him.…

    Thus far, I have learned many important aspects of becoming an effective therapist. One of the major parts of training involves evaluation and feedback from supervisors or peers. I think evaluations are an important part of training because it provides feedback to areas, which you are doing well in, and areas in which you will need improvement. I believe that without evaluations, we as therapist cannot grow into effective therapist. To date I cannot think of any job or career that does not use “end of the year evaluations”.…

    In matching Janet’s posture, language and tone, I reflected back to Janet her external behaviours. When I commented to Janet “and because you know that at the base of it’s not you it’s him” I put into my words her thoughts regarding his behaviour. Janet’s response of “well that’s the thing, I don’t let it affect me anymore…” allowed her to then explore why her reactions to her ex-husband had changed. I found this skill of counselling particularly difficult in this session due to our friendship.…

I seemed alert by making eye contact, asking questions, and having a polite mannerism.…
