About
The Models of Mediation Practice mind map, created by Bill Warters, explores five predominant mediation models used at colleges and universities today, including the Problem Solving/Interest Based Model, Transformative Mediation, Narrative Mediation, Social Justice Mediation, and Insight Mediation. With 132 nodes organized under two core ideologies—Individualistic Ideology of Human Conflict and Relational Ideology of Human Conflict—this template provides a comprehensive overview of each model's origins, key concepts, and typical steps. For instance, the Problem Solving model was launched with the publication of 'Getting to Yes' (Fisher and Ury 1981) and remains the predominant approach, while the Transformative model, rooted in moral development theories by Carol Gilligan, focuses on empowerment and recognition. This mind map template serves as an essential cheat sheet for mediators, students, and educators seeking to understand and compare different mediation frameworks.
