Use of Family Mediation in Resolving Post-breakdown Conflicts
KUBKOVÁ, Lucie
The diploma thesis deals with the use of family mediation in resolving post-breakdown conflicts. The aim of the diploma thesis is to describe the use of family mediation in resolving post-breakdown conflicts. The thesis is divided into two parts - theoretical and practical one. The theoretical part, which is divided into four chapters and subsequently subchapters, defines basic terms such as mediation, its principles, styles and techniques, family mediation and its phases, the role of the mediator, participants in family mediation, breakup and conflict. The practical part is processed using the qualitative research strategy, interviewing method and semi-structured interview technique. The interviews were conducted with six family mediators from non-profit organizations in the South Bohemian Region. The questions that were asked to the respondents were chosen to evaluate the research questions. The research revealed that family mediation can be used for various post-breakdown conflicts, but the form of the mediation process is very individual, because it always depends on the situation and the participants of the mediation. Families can only be approached similar and similar techniques can be used. Although mediation has almost no disadvantages, there is still low awareness and low interest in using this alternative dispute resolution in society. The results of this thesis can serve as a source of information about how family mediation can look like in practice. The obtained data can be used in articles about family mediation or to increase the awareness of students helping professions and public about family mediation and better orientation in it. The obtained informations can also serve as an inspiration or as feedback for family mediators.
