La mediazione umanistica: un percorso di pacificazione fondato sui valori base del lavoro sociale

In this work, Umbreit and Burns present the humanistic mediation model, which shows the great potentials of mediation, both seen as an explicit practice of a professional mediator, and as a skill possessed by the social worker. This model adopts a strictly transformative, morally committed perspective. Reference to the counselling tradition enables the authors to manage the affective-emotional dimension of the conflicts arising in contexts that are strongly characterized by power, disrespect, betrayal, and abuse. The authors argue for a real transformative process, based on the recognition of each other’s humanity and compassion, that allows for the healing of the souls offended by conflicts and violence.;
