✦ Synopsis

This study evaluated levels of psychological distress experienced by children (aged 4±16) and parents at the beginning of and one month after mediation for child-related disputes. In contrast to previous research, this study employed both child-and parent-reports of child outcome. Mediation was associated with reductions in child-reported, though not parentreported, child psychological distress and with reductions in parent-reports of their own psychological distress. The negotiation of successful agreements in mediation was not related to improved psychological well-being of family members. The diculties encountered (i.e. small numbers, low response rate) render the results tentative. Implications of the ®ndings for future research are discussed.
