In recent years there have been an increasing number of incidents
where children have either perpetrated or been the victims of
violence in the schools. Often times the children who perpetrated
the violence had been the victims of school bullying. If bullying
once was a matter of extorting lunch money from one's peers, it has
since escalated into slander, sexual harassment, and violence. And
the victims, unable to find relief, become depressed and/or violent
in return.
Despite all the media attention on recent school tragedies, many of
which can be traced to bullied children, there has been little in
the way of research-based books toward understanding why and how
bullying occurs, the effects on all the individuals involved and
the most effective intervention techniques. Summarizing research in
education, social, developmental, and counseling psychology,
Bullying: Implications for the Classroom examines the personality
and background of both those who become bullies and those most
likely to become their victims, how families, peers, and schools
influence bullying behavior, and the most effective interventions
in pre-school, primary and middle schools. Intended for
researchers, educators, and professionals in related fields, this
book provides an international review of research on bullying.

With its beautifully rich prose, Robert Sardello's newest book
invites us to experience silence as a companion presence, a
creative heart-felt experience that renews, restores, and deepens
the body's response to the internal and external world. Drawing on
images and ideas from the Trials of St. Anthony, Anthroposophy,
Depth Psychology, and Phenomenology, the book delves deeply into
the subtleties of silence, exploring the phenomenon as a source of
wholeness and revitalization.
Sharing his own insights from years of experience in spiritual
psychology, Sardello takes us on an inner journey beyond the
chaotic noise of the ego to a place of inner communion and
self-healing. "Silence: The Mystery of Wholeness" opens our eyes to
the importance of cultivating the nurturing aspects of silence in
our personal relationships and enables us to awaken the inner
currents of spirituality that ultimately lead to a path of
universal compassion, service, and healing.
