Recent legislation passed by the South African Parliament has sharpened attention on the importance of mediation in the process of divorce. Without the understanding and cooperation of the legal profession, and of attorneys in
particular, there appears to be small chance that this will be adequately recognised and brought to fruition. The research reported in this dissertation reflects the results of an investigation of Cape Town attorneys working
in the field of divorce. Their attitudes to and knowledge of the concept of divorce mediation are reported, and the
prospects of collaboration between a social work agency and the legal profession in divorce mediation have been
analysed. It is clear that some collaboration is achievable between the social work and legal professions in
this area. A methodology has been developed and validated that is generally applicable, and which could also be used for investigation of other professional groups. / Social Work / M.A. (Social Work)
