Bullying & anti-bullying strategies

Series: Health and Medical Issues Today

This important text presents bullying as a health issue and proposes effective strategies for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention based on current scientific research of aggressive behaviors. Bullying goes far beyond typical treatments of the topic by presenting an overview of the research concerning the causes, symptoms, and prevalence of bullying to illustrate how it is not simply a social issue but both a genuine medical and health issue. The author draws upon both clinical data and her own extensive experience observing children's interactions on school playgrounds and from interviewing parents, teachers, administrators, and children themselves to reach conclusions about evidence-based prevention and treatment.

The work provides a deeper understanding of bullying by presenting biological and psychological theories of aggression, describing why bystanders who witness bullying react in the way that they do, offering novel ways to deal with the problem, and presenting proven methods that concerned bystanders of all ages can employ to break bullying behaviors—without increasing their own risk. It provides information of great relevance to students, parents, counselors, educators, teaching assistants, and administrators.

Reviews for Bullying

This multifaceted biopsychosocial approach is complex but, for sure, relevant. A great resource for students conducting research, adults looking to intercede in the cycle of abuse, or victims looking for recourse. * Booklist * Overall, this is an excellent resource, both for the content it contains and for the recommendations for additional research. It will be of most use in the hands of school counselors, parents, educators, administrators, and students—anyone on the front lines of this growing problem. * ARBA *
