Teacher of the Master in Mediation and Multidisciplinary Conflict Management
Mediation processes are useful in three different moments of the conflict that correspond to different forms of action.
– With latent conflicts, that is, before they develop into conflict: Prevention
– With manifest conflicts, or what is the same when the conflict already exists: Intervention
– With conflicts that no longer have a solution: Repair of the damage caused
Mediation works, as a useful tool at a preventive level, in establishing agreements for family coexistence.
The evolution of people goes through the life cycle, which is made up of critical moments that can be experienced as stressful life situations. Probably every person will experience one of them at some point in their life.
Examples of situations that make up the life cycle can be:
– Coexistence as a couple
– Birth of sons and daughters
– Arrival of minors into adolescence
– Emancipation of sons and daughters
– Life as a couple with sons and daughters (this may lead to separation, divorce, return to the family home, grief, a situation of dependency, etc.)
– Separation, divorce, bereavement, dependency situation, etc.
– Birth of grandchildren
– Retirement
It is advisable to normalize these situations because in addition to being common, they are usually accompanied by behavioral changes in the protagonists and/or family reorganization.
For example, prior to living together as a couple, agreements can be generated through mediation that establish the functions that each member of the family will perform in the habitual residence, who will cover each expense or what responsibilities each person will assume. In this way, the mediation process becomes a useful tool for preventing conflicts in coexistence, which can also be used again to adjust agreements when the situation changes.
