Social workers as conflict mediator lessons from the Wenchuan earthquake / [electronic resource] : Chen Tao. - pp. 179-187.

Based on the experiences of working with parents who had lost their children during the Wenchuan Earthquake, this paper explores the constraints and difficulties social workers had to confront when working as mediators by default when the tension between the local government and the parents reached boiling point. It concludes that despite such constraints and limited success, there is still room for social workers to work as conflict mediator.
