Bea V. Larsen

For a number of years Bea V. Larsen, senior mediator at the Center for Resolution of Disputes in Cincinnati, Ohio [www.cfrdmediation.com], presented weekly commentaries on WVXU radio, both on her professional work as a mediator and on more personal or general experiences. These broadcasts reached thousands of listeners in a number of midwestern states and elicited many comments. This new series of online commentaries will continue that tradition, now broadcast to the world via the internet. Comments, which can be posted directly to this blog, are warmly encouraged.

    To many I am reintroducing myself, as for a number of years I presented commentaries on a public radio station which reached out into several midwestern states. To others I am not known, so a few words of introduction are in order.

    I am a lawyer with a 36 year professional history, the last 20 of those years primarily spent as a mediator. More recently the  focus of my mediation practice has been on relationships, in the main marital, some parties struggling to continue to be together but most on the path to dissolution.

    My past commentaries have been wide ranging, both personal and professional. I plan to continue in both veins. But as my experience has grown, I've come to wonder whether my daily observations and interpretations of the relationships which play out before me, as husbands and wives struggle to negotiate their parting and their future as parents, might serve others, might provoke a thoughtful pause and even new ways of behaving towards each other. Perhaps a commentary on the dynamics of relationships which have faltered can offer useful insights to others.

    We shall see, as the stories unfold.
