“…What may happen in interaction is that partners first engage in a process of discovering common ground, or "commonplacing" (Littlejohn, 2004), thus exploring possibly useful frames of reference. Finding "common ground" seems pertinent in the case of knowledge absorption.…”

A 55-year-old woman with widely metastatic breast cancer was admitted to your intensive care unit (ICU) because of a decreased level of consciousness and respiratory failure. She had documented cerebral and meningeal metastases that were progressing despite chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The admitting physician met with her family and suggested a palliative approach, making them very upset. The family insisted that the team 'do everything' and now they refuse to discuss any change in the plan of treatment. They maintain a constant presence at the bedside, taking notes and questioning everyone who enters the room. They have threatened legal action toward several of the nursing staff, and hospital security has been called twice because of shouting matches between family and staff members. As the physician taking over care for the ICU, you would like to resolve this conflict.

“…Dialogue is used at the meso level for community consultation in both formal (Littlejohn 2004; Wade 2004; Susskind 2005) and informal (Pyser and Figallo 2004; Barge 2006) ways. At the macro level, dialogue has been the predominant form of communication designed to reduce hostility between groups in conflict (Broome and Hatay 2006; Wayne 2008).…”

The author uses a behavioral perspective to survey theory that may be useful in mediation. He notes the lack of diffusion of knowledge of theory among practitioners and argues that mediators should pay more explicit attention to theory. He presents a matrix comprising the behavioral factors of perception, emotion, cognition, communication, and intervention at the micro, meso, and macro levels of conflict and uses this matrix to organize and review some mediation theories. Several types of intervention theory are identified: integrated, generic, dialectical, developmental, and dialogical. The article closes by posing some outstanding theoretical issues and questioning whether current mediator training programs are adequate to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
