Description
Summary:The paper presents the Group Analysis Method (GAM), as a qualitative field research methodology, and its relations with mediation. Starting from an experience developed in the frame of a mediation program in Brussels, the authors show how this action research methodology is relevant not only to train mediators but also for the practice of mediation itself. After a brief presentation of the learning program, the foundations of the GAM, its main characteristics and different stages of the analysis process are presented. Finally, some insights are proposed to enlighten the correspondences between GAM and mediation process and purposes.
