    Abstract

    This article reviews the relevance of culture to dispute resolution and discusses how practitioners might develop reflexive practices to enhance their responsiveness to the cultural contexts of families involved in family dispute resolution (FDR). The article draws on empirical research to illustrate some of the key elements of a culturally reflexive approach in FDR. These features included the capacity to engage in respectful dialogue about culture and reach outward empathically to parties and an introspective turning inward and critical self-reflection.
