ABSTRACT
The purpose of the model presented here is to examine the readiness of a couple for separation, for divorce, and their ability to negotiate and go through a mediation process. The model is based on tools from the area of Art Therapy and relates to the dimension of the personality of each of the couple, to the inter-personal dimension and the connection between the two dimensions. The model was developed by the two writers and was applied to many couples. The article will present the model and a description of a case study in order to demonstrate its use. The article will not relate to such additional aspects in the process of mediation as the functioning of parents or an evaluation of the children's situation.
