"Bullying
can scar victims for life, or even lead to suicide. All societies
have got to take this scourge seriously, which is why this book is so
timely and valuable."
FREDERICK
FORSYTH
"In
a time where there is a growing awareness of the problem of violence,
aggression and bullying in homes, schools and the workplace in
Ireland, it has become all too evident that there is also a dearth of
informative and practical materials available to help individuals and
organisations cope with the problem.
This book will help to fill
the gap, addressing the serious and complex issues facing children,
parents, teachers, workers and employees in Ireland today."
PROFESSOR
MONA O'MOORE, Head of
Education Department, Trinity College Dublin
"This
book is an important collation of many perspectives on bullying in
the workplace, home and school. It addresses the questions and
concerns of those who have suffered or witnessed the suffering caused
by bullying and the lived experience of those who have to cope with
this problem in their lives. This book answers the specific questions
that arise from these experiences in an informed and sympathetic way.
It invites the reader into a particularly healing journey where
reassurances are provided. Unique to the book are the reflections,
which allow the reader to engage in a personal therapeutic process.
This book is recommended for anyone who has suffered at the hands of
bullying."
MARIE
MURRAY, author and clinical
psychologist
"This
definitive work will be of assistance to professionals and private
individuals who find themselves involved in the field of bullying. It
should also be a source of relevance and reference to policy-makers
and legislators who increasingly need to respond to contemporary
problems. Reading the very many examples of what bullying is and how
it can harm makes one aware that, in Ireland, having finally faced up
to the hidden world of domestic violence and, later, sexual abuse, it
is time for us all as a society to tackle the many-faceted problem of
bullying. Bullying in the
Workplace, Home and School constitutes
a most positive and timely contribution to any such future
debate."
