De psychologisch geschoolde echtscheidingsbemiddelaar

Trefwoorden Officer of the Court, Healer of the Family, onpartijdigheid, empowerment
Auteurs Donald Mac Gillavry
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie

    The legally trained divorce mediator, ‘the officer of the court’, can use the law as a frame of reference for his conduct, but the psychologically trained divorce mediator, ‘the healer of the family’ has no such device. His primary tools are techniques to improve the communication skills of parties, their decision-making process and respecting systemic regularities, in particular where it concerns the interests of the children, i.e. visitation rights.Divorce mediators without legal training are hampered by the absence of a clear frame of reference. They are susceptible to subjective interpretations of events, counter-transference phenomena and partiality. The divorce mediator is himself his most important instrument, but also the most vulnerable.

Mediation in echtscheidingszaken: hoe eerder hoe beter

Trefwoorden escalatiegraad, scheidingsproces, overeenstemming, mediaton monitor
Auteurs Maurice Guiaux, Marijke ter Voert en Frederike Zwenk
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie

    This article focuses on the different outcomes of mediation when starting at various moments in the divorce process. The assumption was that conflicts would escalate more the later the mediation began and as a consequence would affect the results of the mediation. This assumption was confirmed by research data. Not only is the chance of reaching agreement higher early in the divorce process, parties are also more satisfied with the mediation, regardless of the outcome. These results advocate referral to mediation in an early stage. However, referral to mediation should also be possible in a later stage.

An anthropologist’s approach to mediation

Trefwoorden cultuur, conflict, intercultureel
Auteurs Rebecca Golbert
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie

    After a brief analysis of concepts of culture, conflict and conflict resolution, this contribution discusses how mediation and its practices are perceived in different cultures and countries. It appears that mediation is one of the most common forms of conflict resolution applied across a diverse range of cultures. In this respect, the author raises the question whether this also implies that there is a shared understanding of what mediation is or should be.

Over nut en noodzaak van goede geschillenregelingen voor (familie)bedrijven

Trefwoorden impasse, geschillenregeling, enquêterecht, deskundigenbericht
Auteurs dr. Bart Prinsen en Carmen Verschuur-Buijssen
SamenvattingAuteursinformatie

    In companies people work together intensively, especially in family run companies. In such a situation, the interests (income, capital and employment) can be enormous when parties fail to live up to each others expectations.How to deal with situations when parties are in a dead-lock and the continuity of the business is at stake? Depending on the legal form of the company and the type of conflict, there are different legal actions to settle a (legal) conflict. However, there are so many rules and different procedures for each type of legal form, that it may dazzle the reader. Moreover, these procedures may take a long time, while the parties in a family dead-lock desire an expert/arbiter/mediator proceeding expeditiously.In a sense a marriage is also a family run company. The following experiences from the area of family law are described: the processes of a divorce, the break-up announcement (the opposite of the marriage proposal), the experiment in court with the so-called regierechter in family cases, the prenuptial agreement and the plan for parenthood after a divorce. Our conclusion is that in case of a dead-lock, parties need to have a good set of rules on the settlement of disputes, to find a qualified expert/arbiter/mediator having knowledge and experience in financial/tax/pension/legal matters and familiar with dealing with emotions in a deadlock.
