This book offers a complete and detailed account of the evolution
of an internationally successful, evidence-based program that has
been the result of almost two decades of action research into
conflict and bullying. It addresses one of the most serious
problems encountered in schools and work places worldwide: that of
bullying and inter-personal conflict. The book presents a
comprehensive account of the research, development and refinement
of the DRACON Project and the Acting Against Bullying and Cooling
Conflicts programs. The effective strategies that emerged from the
extensive international research and practice use a combination of
theories of conflict and bullying management with drama techniques
and peer teaching which have been unique in their application. The
book analyses their evolution into an effective program that has
impacted positively on bullying and conflict in a number of
settings. In the UK the program successfully addressed behavioural
problems amongst girls in schools through the use of peer teaching
in a drama setting. In Sweden the program assists nursing students,
nurses and other health professionals to deal with conflict in the
workplace. In Australia it has been applied in hundreds of schools
to reduce bullying and assist newly arrived refugees to deal with
cultural conflict and develop resilience and self- identity in
their new country. This volume makes a major and authentic
contribution to the international effort to find effective
strategies and techniques to deal with interpersonal conflict and
bullying across a range of contexts.
