Family Court Review
This book is an engaging, insightful, and invigorating treatise offering a broad array of teaching and learning resources for educators and practitioners in multiple disciplines... As Barsky rightly explains in the preface to his book, the field of conflict resolution today has evolved and expanded to a wide range of professional contexts locally and internationally. Given the current pervasive climate of complex conflict situations throughout life, escalated by trauma, incomprehensible violence, negative peace, and a fight for resources, the search and effort for positive peace is consciously growing at multiple levels. Especially for those of us in the human service professions, this book offers a renewed focus and an incentive to craft interventions toward positive peace using what it has to offer.

Mitch Rosenwald, PhD, LCSW, Professor and Interim PhD Program Director, School of Social Work, Barry University
Conflict Resolution for the Helping Professions provides both students and conflict resolution practitioners with a clear, concise guide to understanding, assessing and addressing conflict across professional domains. Allan Barsky blends a broad survey of scholarly research with a wide variety of practical applications drawn from today's headlines, all the while expertly modeling the language and communication skills so needed by helping professionals. As a practitioner, I found the exercises at the end of each section to be thought-provoking and challenging. I highly recommend this interesting, informative, and useful text." - Rick Lewis, MPS, Specialist, School Climate Initiatives, School District of Palm Beach County, FL Show Less
