This chatbot is specifically designed to answer questions related to the mediation practice and philosophy of Dr. John M Haynes (1932-1999), often referred to as the father of mediation. Dr. Haynes was a pioneer in the field who trained thousands of mediators and court personnel at a time when mediation was just beginning to differentiate from couples therapy. He described the theoretical foundations of the profession and established its key elements.

To use the chatbot, simply enter your question in the textbox provided, and the chatbot will generate a response based on the context material available. Here are some ideas for questions you could ask:
<i>
1. How do you handle high conflict cases?
2. Do you use intuition in mediation?
3. What are some metaphors people use when they are in conflict? What are some of your favorites?
4. Are there aspects of spirituality in mediation?
5. What are 'managed reciprocal concessions'?
6. What do you feel is your legacy?
