What Does "Confidentiality" Mean to the Mediation Process?
What does confidentiality mean in mediation? This video describes the importance of confidentiality in the mediation process. In the video, you learn that everyone one in the room, even those who are only present in support of one of the parties; e.g., an attorney, spouse, friend, or parent etc, must sign a confidentiality agreement just the same as do the actual owners of the dispute. Dr. Hanna goes on to explain that it is because of this that mediation works - without complete confidentiality, most, if not all mediations, simply could not happen.
