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. A bibliography that includes useful sources such as
the U.S. Secret Service Report investigating school attacks, early
research into bullying and youth behavior, and work by leading
experts in the field A glossary defines terms such as fatalistic
suicide, diffusion of responsibility, and provocative victim A list
of resources directs readers to further information on treatment
and prevention for those struggling with mental health problems due
to bullying
