About Texas Mediation Research Project
Our Vision
Since mediation has become a leading service providing conflict resolution in Texas, several mediation different approaches have claimed to provide quality service to the public. There has not, until now been a comparative analysis to evaluate the various mediation services being offered.
The Texas Mediation Research Project has been formed to provide this comparative analysis in a controlled clinical environment and present these findings to the Texas Legislature, the Courts, and the public for their review.
The goal is to establish mediation as a distinct field that is not a hybrid of law, psychology, sociology, or religion.
When the public selects mediation as an option to assist with their conflict, they deserve to know what specifically mediation is, the different mediator intervention approach options available on the market today, and what the parties can expect to occur in the session.
It is believed that the current mediation practice explanation is broad and many mediators as well as the public are not clear on what impartiality means and how it is demonstrated.
The Texas Mediation Research Project plans to provide this clarity.
