- Full title :Engaging communication in conflict : systemic practice / Stephen W. Littlejohn, Kathy Domenici.
Summary
Written from the authors' experience in conflict intervention in their private consulting practice. They use a communication perspective to address insights and methods in private mediation, small group facilitation, system design, large-scale interventions, and public-issue management. They explore transformative mediation, the team mediation system, assessment and evaluation, systemic design, gaming methodology, issue framing and public deliberation, study circles, dialogue groups, and many other interventions. The book is based on a coherent theoretical orientation, drawing heavily from the theories of the coordinated management of meaning, system theory, social constructionism, and transformative discourse. While these theories are detailed in the Appendix, the book is highly pragmatic in orientation, with numerous case examples and "how-to" information.
