What should be done when disputes and conflicts get out of hand in companies, in the team, in the family or in the neighborhood? Mediation is then the procedure of choice. It describes an established approach to initiate amicable solutions in disputes, conflicts and disagreements. How does successful mediation work? The inner attitude of the mediators is just as crucial for the success of such unification processes as their practical know-how and their ability to take a structured approach.Everything you need, know and need to know for good mediation, explain Holger Lindemann, Claude-Hélène Mayer and Ilse Osterfeld. They teach the central techniques of mediation from a systemic-solution-oriented perspective in a practical way and using many examples and exercises. They offer a tried-and-tested flow chart that makes it possible to design the management of a wide variety of mediations in a goal-oriented and solution-oriented manner. They provide advice on how to deal with special situations such as interjections, insults and violations of rules or intercultural aspects of conflict resolution. Particular attention is paid to the mediator's own involvement, for example in internal forms of conflict resolution or in the function of managers.The book can be used as a textbook for self-study as well as for use in workshops and training courses. It contains numerous exercises, tips and instructions on how to conduct conversation simulations. Supplementary worksheets are available as download material.

This edited volume provides new perspectives on how shame is experienced and transformed within digital worlds and Industry 4.0. The editors and authors discuss how individuals and organisations can constructively transform shame at work, in professional and private contexts, and with regard to socio-cultural lifestyle changes, founded in digitalisation and Industry 4.0. The contributions in this volume enable researchers and practitioners alike to unlock the topic of shame and its specifics in the highly dynamic and rapidly changing times to explore this emotion in depth in connection with remote workplaces, home office, automated realities and smart systems, or digitalised life- and working styles. By employing transdisciplinary and transcultural perspectives, the volume further discusses shame in the context of new lifestyles, religion, gender, sexual suppression, mental illness, and the nature of citizenship. Researchers, practitioners and students in the fields of industrial and organisational psychology, positive psychology, organisational studies, future studies, health and occupational science and therapy, emotion sciences, management, leadership and human resources will find the contributions highly topical, insightful and applicable to practice. Fresh, timely, thought-provoking with each turn of the page, this impressive volume explores shame in today’s world. Moving beyond the simple “guilt is good; shame is bad” perspective, authors from diverse disciplines examine adaptive and maladaptive aspects of shame in the context of contemporary issues (e.g., social media use, COVID-19) via multiple cultural and social lenses. Aptly named, Shame 4.0 is a treasure trove of rich ideas ripe for empirical study – a blueprint for the next generation of research on this complex and ubiquitous emotion. Bravo! --June Tangney, PhD, University Professor and Professor of Psychology, George Mason University, USA Uncovering Shame - To a much greater extent than other emotions like anger, grief, and fear, until recently most shame in modern societies has been hidden from sight. The text you see in this book is one of the steps that is being taken to make it more visible and therefore controllable. -- Thomas Scheff, Prof. Emeritus Department of Sociology, UCSB, Santa Bararbara, Ca.
