De-escalating intense emotions CLE

I am putting together a minI-CLE for our members and the general WSBA membership on using negotiation and counseling techniques to de-escalate intense emotions and potentially violent parties. I could use your input on suggestions for speakers, and any other feedback you may have.

Warm regards to all,

Joe's absolutely great. Counseling background but a lawyer-friendly brass-tacks delivery.

Mark,

I have in my reference file a copy of an excellent article by Mark Mays (Ph.D, J.D., a clinical psychologist and attorney) entitled "Dealing with Difficult People" that appeared in the August 2008 Washington State Bar News. I will try to upload a copy of the article, but I am technically challenged! If the article is of interest to you, please contact me.

Larry

Here's the link to that article you mentioned, Larry. The whole edition of the August 2008 Bar News is posted as a single PDF, so you have to scroll to page 22 to read it.
