Connecting transformative practitioners across the world

Remembering Baruch Bush 

Baruch was a dear friend, a profound intellect and scholar, an excellent teacher and mentor, and a guiding presence in our community.  

With the loss of Baruch and Joe this year, all of us at the ISCT are clear in our commit to carry the work forward with the curiosity,  passion, and rigor they modeled for us. And we will continue to care for this approach they loved so dearly—not only with resources and planning, but with presence, tenderness, and long-term commitment.  Baruch often called this work his "child"  And we will make sure his “child” is supported, protected, and never feels alone.


Baruch's Writings

Baruch's most recent article was published early in 2026 in the Harvard Negotiation Law Review Journal.   This article, "Self-Determination, Needs Satisfaction and Moral Growth – in Mediation and Negligence Law: A Paradigm Shift in Underlying Worldviews" explores an interesting connection between mediation and negligence law and the underlying worldviews.  Click the image to access this article.  To see a bibliography of Baruch's writing, click here.
