This paper seeks to approach the contributions of the game theory for mediation. For this purpose, in the first part of this research an approach about mediation is made, including its purpose, its principles and the mediator's role during this procedure. In the second part, this study seeks to understand the game theory, its dynamic and functioning, the importance of Nash equilibrium for this theory, and especially how it can be used during mediation sessions. To elaborate this paper, the dialectical method of approach was used, such as literature review. Through this study, it was possible to verify what mediation and the game theory are, moreover, it was demonstrated how the game theory can assist the practice of mediation.
