Divorce Mediation as a Way of Solving Family Conflicts
KOŘÍNKOVÁ, Kristina
This bachelor thesis deals with the issue of family mediation, both voluntary mediation and court-ordered first meeting with a mediator, as a tool for resolving conflicts in families. The thesis will examine how social workers and mediators perceive the possibility of families using court-ordered mediation to resolve conflict. The thesis is divided into theoretical and practical parts. The theoretical part contains six large chapters, which are further divided into smaller subchapters. In each chapter, I discuss the family and the conflicts that can arise within it. I also introduce possible alternative methods for how to resolve conflicts and then the thesis deals with the theoretical background of mediation, both general and family mediation. Next, my theoretical part describes voluntary mediation and court mediation. The practical part was developed through qualitative research using semi-structured interview techniques. The interviews were designed to find individual answers to the research questions I set out. Five respondents participated in the research, including mediators and social workers who work in family mediation. In the practical part, the individual interviews are then interpreted and analysed. Through the research conducted, I have concluded that mediators and social workers regard family mediation and court-ordered mediation to be a beneficial tool for resolving family conflict, but, like family mediation in general, it has its specific pitfalls. The results of this thesis can be published, for example, in an article on mediation or social work with families. The conclusions can also be used as a starting point for a more detailed analysis of the issue.
