Expanding on the issue raised by Meyer Elkin in the June 1986 issue of Conciliation Courts Review , Barbara Younger, a mediator in Massachusetts reviews some opinions of attorneys, therapists and mediators regarding whether referrals to mediation are actually made to their clients. She notes that because of what seem to be possible overlaps in services, conflict in services and perhaps even protection of territorial limits, professionals seem to make preferential judgments about which clients should be provided knowledge of the mediation option.
