| Sumario: | This article describes the co-evolution of a process and a theory. Through the 1990s, the process known as conferencing moved beyond child welfare and youth justice, to applications in schools, neighbourhoods, and workplaces. In each of these applications, conferencing has assisted participants to acknowledge and transform interpersonal conflict, as a prelude to negotiating a plan of action.

Key links between theory and practice are described in chronological sequence |
