Book Subtitle | A Deadly Serious Matter |
Book Description | Childhood Bullying: A Deadly Serious Matter' offers new perspectives on peer abuse and demands a serious review of current interpretations and interventions in bullying. The text addresses the now frequent suicide attempts related to severe bullying and examines school, family and community responses to this tragic result of undetected or ignored peer abuse. Bullying is seen as abuse, never as conflict and this approach places intervention within the framework of other forms of abuse. New perspectives include the indentification of bullying as a form of child abuse, the role of resilience and introduces Peer Advocacy as a reliable new support strategy for the victim. Bullying will never be considered a mild childhood nuisance again after reading this work |
