The Deep Democracy of Open Forums
Practical Steps to Conflict Prevention and Resolution for the
Family, Workplace, and World
by: Arnold Mindell, Ph.D.
Do You Dread Meetings?
Do You Think They are a Waste of Time?
In the average meeting or forum, most people feel as though their voice is not really heard, that they are wasting time that could be productively spent elsewhere. Arnold Mindell, the creator of process-work therapy, has been a long-time advocate of deep democracy an awareness of the diversity of people, roles and feelings, and the ability to be open to whatever comes to one’s attention.
Mindell says that by using the principles he outlines almost any group or world situation becomes manageable. Deep democracy is a crucial concept that can help shape and change the future.
Some of the topics he covers are:
How to resolve a stalemated conflict
Learn to make meetings truly productive
How to have meetings that really represent the attendees
Learn to look forward to group processes instead of fearing them
How to objectively bring a deeper awareness to group conflict and collaboration
Reading the signals and events of others and transforming the problem before it arises
