Ladd and Blanchfield describe how an effective mediator, conciliator, or peacemaker should approach these conflicts. New features include updated references, a discussion of contemporary violence and mental health, and comparisons between culture and climate when determining how conflicts evolve into violent acts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a wonderful and important book—matching deep insight into the human experience with practical guidance for managing emotionally charged conflicts. The authors interweave analysis with compelling case studies and cultural commentary that recognizes the multidimensional contexts in which emotional climates are created and conciliated. Conciliators, mediators, mental health specialists, and anyone else who helps others make peace in the world will benefit from their work. -- Erin Ryan, Florida State University\u003cbr\u003eLadd and Blanchfield demonstrate deep and wise understanding of the complex underlying emotions, dynamics, and motivations of individuals, couples, and groups engaged in conflict. They show seasoned sensitivity in finding the leverage points within disputes at which an intervenor can really make a difference in diffusing both overt violence and seething resentment that might turn to violence. Adding cultural considerations of conflict to ‘emotional climate,’ a key concept in understanding the complexity of interpersonal conflicts, the authors present a macro view of conflict—one that will be most helpful to practitioners who are all too often conceptually stuck in the trenches of conflict, and unable to see the ‘big picture.’ Within this book, mediators and conciliators will find exciting insights, useful concepts, and practical tips for enhancing their practices as peacemakers. -- Donald T. Saposnek, University of California, Santa Cruz\u003cbr\u003eIn a time when peace-making is desperately needed, Ladd and Blanchfield have provided a clear guide for conflict resolution, highlighting the importance of emotional climate. This book is a must-read for anyone in the business and for others who are looking for a grounded framework to better understand and resolve conflict. -- AnnMarie Churchill, Memorial University of Newfoundland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  Acknowledgements  Introduction   Part I: Emotional Climates that Promote Violence   Chapter 1: Anger and Conciliation   Chapter 2: Resentment and Conciliation   Chapter 3: Revenge and Conciliation   Chapter 4: Jealousy and Conciliation   Chapter 5: Hatred and Conciliation   Part II: Climates that Promote Mental Health Problems  Chapter 6: Apathy and Conciliation  Chapter 7: Guilt and Conciliation  Chapter 8: Egotism and Conciliation  Chapter 9: Greed and Conciliation  Chapter 10: Anxiety, Fear, and Conciliation  Part III: Emotions and Mediation   Chapter 11: The Phenomenon of Mediation  Chapter 12: Emotions and Mediation  Bibliography  Index  About the Authors","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040705773911,"sku":"9781498532778","price":35.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781498532778.jpg?v=1750947579","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/mediation-conciliation-and-emotions-9781498532778","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
