One of the special features of family disputes involving children is that there are usually (though not necessarily only) two disputants involved – the parents in most cases. Fuller’s analysis of mediation appraises ‘the dyad’ as the ‘home ground’ of the mediation process (Fuller, 1971, p. 310). Another special feature is that the parents are bound together through their children in a continuing and interdependent relationship, whether they like it or not (that is, unlike a relationship that involves only a brief interaction occasioned by a one-off encounter, such as a car accident or business transaction).
Then, in a Practice Direction on Matrimonial Conciliation issued in 1971 by the President of the Family Division, conciliation was distinguished for the first time, both from reconciliation and from the preparation of welfare reports for the court (Parkinson, 1983). It is in the context of industrial relations, however, that conciliation as a form of alternative dispute resolution has had the longest history, dating from the Conciliation Act 1896. Following the Booth Report, continuing concern both about the current prevalence of divorce and that the divorce process was making things worse for couples and their children, resulted in the publication in 1988 by the Law Commission of ‘Facing the Future – A discussion Paper on the Ground for Divorce’ (Law Com.
310). This is because the parties’ common interests (namely their children) may be seen or may come to be seen as more important than who is right or who is wrong. This creates a strong pressure to follow the Confucian ‘middle road’, a tradition that embodies the duty of everyone, as his or her first obligation, to achieve harmony with others and with nature (Shapiro, 1981). The mediation process is, in essence, forward-looking (but see also Chapter 11). Whereas the judge looks backwards to events of the past and makes a judgement on those facts in terms of the legal norms connected with them, the mediator looks forwards to a consideration of future options and the consequences of alternative courses of action (Eckhoff, 1969).
