A handbook, Nomos-Verlag, 656 p., 2014

"...FOR MEDIATORS WHO ARE INTERESTED IN EXPANDING THEIR CONCEPTUAL INVENTORY, FOR COUNSELLORS WHO WANT TO GAIN A BROADER PERSPECTIVE ON CONFLICT, FOR TRANSACTION ANALYSTS WHO WANT TO ADD MEDIATION TO THEIR PROFILE - AND FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO USE "COGNITIVE MAPS" TO REDUCE COMPLEXITY, IT IS AN (INSTRUCTIVE) RICH AND VALUABLE HANDBOOK!"

„...THE WORK IS EXCELLENTLY SUITED TO INCREASE PROFESSIONALISM IN MEDIATION PRACTICE...
...THE MANUAL PRESENTED HERE DESERVES TO BE TAKEN NOTE OF BY PRACTISING MEDIATORS...
IT IS IDEALLY SUITED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENT OF ONE'S OWN PROFESSIONALISM ..."

Extracts from the Book review by Vice-President of the Regional Court,_B. Mumm, Mediator BAFM

"...ALL IN ALL, THE ANTHOLOGY PROVIDES A NICE FUND OF CONCEPTUAL IDEAS FOR MEDIATION. THE INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTIONS ARE NOT TOO LONG, BUT FORMULATE THEIR STATEMENTS IN A CONCISE MANNER. THE ADVANTAGE OF TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS IN CREATING MODELS WITH AN OPTIMAL REDUCTION OF COMPLEXITY - I.E. NOT TOO MUCH BUT ALSO NOT TOO LITTLE - IS A GOOD BASIS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION AND EQUALLY FOR THE TRAINING FOR MEDIATION.

Review by teaching coach and transactional analyst Günther Mohr see www.mohr-coaching.de

"...WITH ITS MANY CONTRIBUTIONS, THE HANDBOOK SHOWS WHAT TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS CAN ACHIEVE IN TERMS OF COMMUNICATION THEORY IN ORDER TO CONDUCT A MEDIATION PROCESS OR A CONFLICT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM...
IF YOU ARE A MANAGER OR MEDIATOR LOOKING TO EXPAND YOUR LITIGATION SKILLS, YOU SHOULD TAKE MORE THAN ONE LOOK AT THIS VOLUME AND NOT BE PUT OFF BY ITS SIZE."

Prof Dr Barth in Business mediation 1/2015, p. 60 f

With over 40 articles, the handbook offers a comprehensive insight into the Practical mediation work on the basis of transaction-analytical ideas. The theoretical understanding of modern mediation is deepened.

It will be shown to what extent transactional analysis concepts enrich classical mediation in personal conflicts and offer a Relationship-orientated conflict management enable. In addition Concepts of systemic transactional analysis presented to the organisational conflict management benefit from structural conflicts.
