Abstract

In this article, the author discusses the complex relational dynamics involved with child custody recommending counseling processes in California court-connected mediation sessions. The mediation process is viewed through a systemic lens, which allows for the appreciation of reflexive and recursive elements of power inherently present with all participants. A brief exploration is provided of how this reflexive use of power by participants influences the model of mediation used. Finally, suggestions for process improvements are made along with suggestions for areas of future research.
