Praise for Collaborative Divorce Handbook
"There are many roads to peace. Whether you engage in collaborative practice, which by definition includes the provision that professionals will not represent the parties in litigation, or some other process for respectful conflict resolution, you will find Collaborative Divorce Handbook to be an invaluable resource for deepening your understanding and enhancing your skills as a peacemaker."
��Talia L. Katz, JD, executive director, International Academy of Collaborative Professionals
"Collaborative lawyering is a promising new way of resolving disputes through joint problem solving rather than adversary litigation that has particular appeal for divorce cases. Whether you are a client who seeks to learn more about it or a lawyer using it who desires a wise guiding hand, this book is an invaluable resource."
—Frank E. A. Sander, Bussey Professor Emeritus, Harvard Law School
"Written by one of the innovative thinkers in the field, Collaborative Divorce Handbook is a treasure of information for all professionals interested in collaborative divorce. Easy to read, expansive, and chock-full of resources, it is bound to become a classic."
�Constance Ahrons, PhD, author, The Good Divorce and We're Still Family, and professor emerita, University of Southern California
"Family law is changing. As more people realize that the adversarial process is expensive, degrading, and stressful, they look for alternatives and find it in various forms of alternative dispute resolution. Woody Mosten is the nationally recognized leader of this movement, and his book on collaborative practice literally will be 'The Handbook' we will all follow."
� Garrett C. Dailey, Esq., CFLS, AAML, president, Attorney's BriefCase, Inc.
Collaborative Divorce Handbook: Helping Families Without Going to Court Review
If there was one book that Collaborative professionals (or aspiring Collaborative professionals) should take with them to a desert island, this would be it. I found Woody Mosten's Collaborative Divorce Handbook to be a comprehensive and imminently readable manual for every discipline of Collaborative Practice. It's a "soup to nuts" catalog of all things Collaborative, told in an appealing style of sagely, elegant wisdom. Through experiences and quotes from practitioners (many of them early pioneers of Collaborative Law), you'll come to appreciate the skill required to become a consummate Collaborative professional, and how to acquire it yourself. As an experienced practitioner, you'll learn some new tricks (I did); as a beginner you'll find a guide through the maze. Another reason I love this book is that Woody gives respectful, balanced treatment of controversial subjects (one coach or two? Mediators in Collaborative? Lawyer only or full team?), and he avoids the all-too-common evangelical zeal than I found in other books on this topic. Cost-wise, all of the books aimed at professionals are pretty pricey, but at least this one delivers (I can't say that about all the books I have shelled out $$$ for). Bottom line, this is a "must-have" if you're serious about wanting to step up your Collaborative game (or get into the game in the first place!).Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Collaborative Divorce Handbook: Helping Families Without Going to Court" are high quality item.
