Emerging practice issues in child inclusive divorce mediation

Child-inclusive divorce mediation is growing rapidly throughout
Australia, and its practice now affords a critical mass of experience
upon which to reflect. The notes in this section outline some current
concerns, together with advances in the clinical application of child
inclusive mediation processes that are emerging through the second
author’s extensive experiences in training and supervision. A recent
case conducted by the first author in the role of child consultant is
described and commented upon. It illustrates the application of a
highly responsive approach to the process of mediation, including
the handling of violence disclosure by the child.
