Mediators often deal with parties whose anger has become a force more powerful than self‐interest. In these situations, the neutral must find ways of releasing the parties from vengeful, self‐harming behavior by creating an alternative in forgiveness and reconciliation. This training explores definitions of anger, revenge, and forgiveness as well as the occasions and reasons for experiencing these emotions.
