The first book to integrate shame research into a single
overarching theory * Why are some kids magnets for bullying? * Why
do gay teens commit suicide four times as frequently as "straight"
teens? * Why do we have more men and women in prison than any other
country in the world? * Why are school shootings and acts of
domestic terrorism on the rise? What could possibly be the theme
that ties all of these questions together, which provides a window
into so many aspects of the darker aspects of human behavior? In a
word, shame. Shame is a powerful and complex emotion, capable of
producing dramatic reactions from even the most mild-mannered
people. While shame can be employed in positive ways, such as
teaching children good manners, other types of shame can be
devastating, or even lethal. However, few people truly understand
the role of shame in acts of bullying, violence, and
discrimination. In Beyond Bullying: Breaking the Cycle of Shame,
Bullying, and Violence, veteran professor of social work Jonathan
Fast deftly weaves together research from the fields of psychology,
sociology, economics, and history to create a single overarching
theory of shame. The book introduces the concept of "weaponized
shame, " a toxic and intentional attack on another person, noting
that weaponized shame is often at the heart of bullying situations.
With clear, straightforward language, Dr. Fast traces the nuances
of shame through several common types of bullying, highlighting
bullying based on sexuality, gender, and race. Noting the pervasive
presence of weaponized shame in American culture, Beyond Bullying
extends shame theory to acts of domestic violence, racism, school
shootings, and domestic terrorism. The issues that cause bullying
are not limited to the schoolyard, but rather are responsible for
horrific acts of violence across the nation. Beyond mere theory,
the book provides concrete suggestions for healthy ways of dealing
with shame, including techniques for diffusing potentially harmful
situations. An invaluable resource for parents of bullied children,
Beyond Bullying will also appeal to teachers, counselors, and
social workers.
