With violence
in schools skyrocketing, the problems surrounding bullying and teasing
can no longer be denied, ignored, or tolerated. Vastly underrated
and widespread, bullying and teasing are often mishandled by both
school staff and parents. This book provides detailed procedures
for the primary prevention and management of bullying and teasing
in the school system. It presents a comprehensive overview of bullying
and teasing, along with practical assessment and intervention procedures
designed to help the victim and tormentor. The problem of childhood
bullying is discussed within the theoretical framework of Lazarus's
cognitively oriented theory of stress and coping. Major sources
of data, which have made impressive contributions to the current
state of knowledge of bullying and victimization, are discussed
throughout the text. This volume also explores issues surrounding
teasing and points out that teasing is as severe a problem as bullying.
It makes a number of suggestions for the prevention of the early
onset of bullying and the importance of prevention programs for
the preschool and early school years. It hopes to enable school
counselors and those in private practice to make a difference to
the many children who have suffered from bullying. (Contains about
400 references, an annotated bibliography, and an index.) (RJM)
