Negotiation and mediation today can be likened, in some respects, to medicine and surgery in the early 18th century. Both sets of fields consist almost entirely of practitioners; training is heavily in the direction of the apprenticeship; practitioners operate more or less intuitively, each with a distinct individual style; and, the literature in both fields, to the extent its exists, derives mainly* from the experience of practitioners and consists largely of aphorisms about appropriate action.To be sure, the above analogy is not perfect. There are no parallels in mainstream negotiation and mediation to the painful and dangerous procedures of bleeding and cautery which were prevalent in early 18th century medicine. Everyday experience with human relations provides a number of the skills needed for good negotiation and mediation, and there is a lot of sound advice around. Nevertheless, these fields remain at a primitive leveI of development.
