I'm convening a symposium on collaborative practices after medical error, including disclosure, apology, compensation, and opportunities for systemic change to improve patient safety and learning throughout the health care system, which includes attorneys.

Greetings:
I am a family law and divorce attorney in Palm Springs, California, and a Masters student of Family Life Education at Loma Linda University. I bumped into Ms. Kellner’s book while investigating resources to support parents involved in custody disputes, in order to help my own clients to make choices that facilitate their childrens’ best interests rather than playing out the natural reactivity of the competing agendas of many divorcing couples.

Teachers/Professors Collaborative Law Process Develops in Tennessee
I recently found out that the leadership of the Tennessee Bar Association has recommended to the members of the Tennessee ABA delegation that they vote in favor of adopting the Uniform Law Commission's recommended new Uniform Collaborative Law Act. This development bodes well for the possible adoption of some legislation or court rules in Tennessee where collaborative law practice is in it's infancy. Right now there are two practice groups, one in Memphis and one in Nashville, both are trying to figure out the best ways to bring the process to fruition.

Clients Safety in the Divorce Process: Reducing Anxiety to Facilitate Joint Problem-Solving
Section:
Expanding Our Toolboxes: Skills for a New Paradigm The end of a marriage is a frightening time for most people. Not only are past hurts and failures likely to be triggered, in most cases the husband and wife have lost their primary confidants (each other) at a time when they are most vulnerable and in need of support. As emotions escalate, cognitive areas of the brain shut down and problem-solving becomes impossible. Reducing anxiety is therefore critical to the collaborative process.
The following is an A through H list of how to reduce anxiety and encourage creative problem-solving.
