I thought this might be of interest to you. My career as a family law solicitor and mediator has coincided with the rise of the internet and therefore electronic (mis)communication between separated spouses. I have been fascinated by the tendency of spouses in dispute to exchange acrimonious and unproductive texts and emails. As part of my Masters in Dispute Resolution at UTS, I explored the systemic and psychological reasons why separated spouses struggle with electronic communication. I discovered a number of techniques by which people in conflict can communicate more effectively by email and text.
