This very helpful book is clearly based on personal insights gleaned by Scott during his many years working as a mediator. Perhaps the best part, and most useful, is chapter three on ‘practical steps’. It concentrates on asking people to reflect on what their conflict is about, how it has made them feel, what the conflict has led to in practical terms in their life, all before seeking to engage in discussion.


People need to reflect clearly before they engage, is the message, and what their contribution to the conflict has been. This is difficult, but Scott has come up with ideas, proposals, different options to help you towards a positive relationship with those with whom they’re in conflict. Scott’s reflections are of an intensely practical and helpful nature, and people would do well to consider his thoughts prior to engaging in difficult conversations.


I highly commend this book to mediators and to anyone involved

in personal conflict.
