Abstract
This portion of the book compares the practice of mediation in Bethlehem with TMF. The chapter begins by considering an organic ideology of Bethlehem and contrasting this with the relational ideology of TMF. The chapter continues by outlining the expectations of the third party in a Bethlehem context and setting these alongside the expectations within a transformative framework. The central intervention practices of Bethlehem mediators are presented, and distinctions from the intervention processes in the Transformative Mediation Framework are discussed.
