Preface
This article, Framing and Its Uses,
was first published in American Arbitration Association’s Dispute Resolution Journal in 2003 and subsequently published in its related AAA Handbook on Mediation, 2nd Edition, 2010, and most recently by On-line Juris’ Dispute Resolution Journal.

This article was conceived as a result of my participation with other mediation practitioners in a training session for World Bank personnel in mediation in the late 1990’s. One
