The Association for Conflict Resolution-Greater New York Chapter (ACR-GNY) and the City University of New York (CUNY) Dispute Resolution Center at John Jay College Present Roundtable Breakfast: Psychological Dimensions of Impasse-Breaking in Mediation

In this presentation, David Hoffman will present a wide range of impasse-breaking techniques with a psychological perspective on why those techniques work, drawing on his recently published book “The Art of Impasse-Breaking in Mediation.” Among the psychological perspectives, David will particularly focus on the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model. (IFS is not about families – it’s about our internal operating systems and the ‘family-like’ relationships our sub-personalities have with each other.) There will be time for Q&A and discussion.
