History
Stan Posthumus, MSW JD APM, a family/divorce/relationship specialist, has worked with families to build and reconstruct new relationships for over 25 years. Stanley was born and raised in South Africa and while working in a law firm, he realized that the adversarial divorce system was detrimental to both parties and that there had to be a better way. He combined his background in Science, Social Work and Law and became the first family mediator in private practice in South Africa. He spent years working with couples fine-tuning the process he developed and called Focused Thinking Mediation. In 1995, Stanley moved with his family to New Jersey, and developed a successful mediation practice to help couples across the country and around the world. A well-known speaker he teaches and trains mediators, professionals and couples at workshops. He enjoys to share the technology he discovered not only with clients, but also with other professionals at local and international conferences.
