3.0 out of 5 stars
skim it for the useful material, leave the modernist world-view behind,
By Louise Penberthy "Actor, playwright, mediator... (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Crossroads of Conflict: A Journey Into the Heart of Dispute Resolution (Paperback)
A lot of good ideas, held back by a dated, modernist view of how to analyze and understand the world. It reads like it was published in 1976, not 2006.
Some dubious use of fields of study the author doesn't understand well, such as brain science, psychology, physics, and mathematics, without footnotes or even a bibliography. Quotes from writers, poets, philosophers, Freud and Jung, and humanist religious thinkers -- largely white men. The most useful parts of the book were the case studies, especially the one where he described mistakes he made. Skim it and take what you need. Take the really good ideas for how to mediate effectively. Take or leave the rest. |
