Free Monthly Zoom CDR Practice Discussion Group
Power Dynamics
Identifying and Managing Power Imbalances in Mediation and Collaborative Divorce
Power imbalances are present in virtually all family law matters. As CDR professionals, we work with clients to identify interests and concerns, including substantive interests, emotional interests, relationship interests and process interests. Within all of these different types of interests are clients’ real and perceived power imbalances. Some of these power imbalances related to substantive interests are easily identified and apparent, while others related to emotional, relationship and process interests lie far beneath the surface. All of them impact the dynamics of our processes. This program will focus on how to identify these power imbalances and how to effectively manage these dynamics in our CDR process.
