Abstract
Serious family–system conflicts waste valuable resources, cause personal distress, and disrupt efforts to support people with disabilities. The author suggests that mediation offers many advantages over adversarial approaches for resolving complicated family–system disputes and presents unconditionally constructive me diation as a positive and effective model for resolving complex family–system conflicts and for improving planning, case management, and support for people with disabilities. A case example illustrates how this method of mediation can be applied.
