Part of the book series: Springer Reference Psychologie ((SRP))

Zusammenfassung

Der katalytische Mediator ist ein pragmatischer Gegenvorschlag zur klassischen Haltung der Neutralität in der Mediation. Mit dem Ziel, die Medianten füreinander passungsfähiger zu machen, strukturiert der katalytisch agierende Mediator die Wahrnehmung und Interaktionsmöglichkeiten seiner Medianten. Als Leitmotive dienen ihm deren Interessen und Ressourcen, sowie deren Motivation und ihre persönlichen Eigenschaften. Der folgende Beitrag zeigt auf, was ein katalytischer Mediator ist und wie diese Haltung in der Praxis umgesetzt werden kann.
