With the increased recognition of the devastating effects of bullying, there is now a tremendous amount of information available on its prevalence, associated factors, and the evaluation data on well known school-wide anti-bullying education, prevention, and intervention programs. Yet numerous complex issues span individual and societal variables, making the task of understanding, assessing, and responding to bullying on the ground complicated for researchers and nearly impossible for school-based practitioners. 

Untangling some of the thorny issues around what causes and constitutes bullying, including how to think differently about overlapping phenomena such as racism, sexism, homophobia, or sexual harassment, Faye Mishna presents an exhaustive body of empirical and theoretical literature in such a way as to be accessible to both students and practitioners. The result is an integrated, nuanced synthesis of current and cutting-edge scholarship that will appeal to students, practitioners, and researchers in social work, education, and psychology.

Bullying, Suicide and Homicide: Understanding, Assessing and Preeventing Threats to Self and Others for Victims of Bullying. Butch Losey, $37.95

In our society, bullying is commonly seen as a normal, inescapable part of growing up that children and adolescents must simply endure. In BULLYING, SUICIDE, AND HOMICIDE, Butch Losey challenges this viewpoint, arguing that bullying is not a part of childhood development, but rather an aberrant behavior that, for the victim, can lead to adverse decisions, such as suicide and homicide. He provides a detailed understanding of the relationship between bullying, suicide, and homicide and an assessment and response strategy that can be utilized by mental health professionals who work with children and adolescents. This strategy involves a three stage ecological approach: screening to identify warning signs for bullying, depression, suicide, and violence; assessing the risks of suicide and threats of violence using specially tailored forms and tools; and mediating to identify appropriate interventions. All of the associated tools and forms that the author has created are included as appendices and on the accompanying CD.

Losey's sensitive and compassionate treatment of this important subject will inform and motivate mental health professionals in their work with victims of bullying.

Olivia Gardner, a northern California teenager, was severely taunted and cyber-bullied by her classmates for more than two years. News of her bullying spread, eventually reaching two teenage girls from a neighboring town, sisters Emily and Sarah Buder.

The Mean Girl Motive: Negotiating Power and Femininity. Nicole Landry, $17.95

Prior to the 1980s, girls were completely excluded from research on childhood aggression, presumably because their 'sugar and spice and everything nice' made them averse to aggression. Not only were girls missing from research, their voices are frequently absent in current 'girl aggression' discourse. Despite this, 'mean' girls have received growing attention, especially in psychology. This book moves beyond the superficial to explore the social context of mean behaviour. It examines the intersection among structures of class, race and gender in the production of girls' aggression and draws on first-hand knowledge and experiences for a candid glimpse into a culture that raises critical questions about our 'taken for granted' knowledge of girls' meanness.

The program also addresses the nuanced ways in which racism, classism, and homophobia are expressed in our culture and affect social cruelty and violence.

A CD-ROM of reproducible program forms and student handouts is included with the curriculum.

Preventing Bullying and School Violence. Stuart Twemlow & Frank Sacco, $55.50

Many students do not feel safe in school. This condition exacts an academic as well as a psychological toll because children must feel safe in order to learn. The authors of PREVENTING BULLYING AND SCHOOL VIOLENCE contend that inadequate attention has been given to the role of mental health professionals in preventing bullying and school violence. They propose a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach, one that draws upon the skills of the educational, health care, and mental health communities in identifying risk, choosing appropriate interventions, and implementing targeted wellness programs.

The authors see bullying as a process, not a problem originating with a single troubled person. Accordingly, they believe that bullying behaviors can be effectively addressed only by targeting the broader social context — the coercive power and group dynamics that breed and maintain bullying and violent behavior in the school setting. The book is designed to help clinicians, school counselors, and administrators create a safe climate for their students and to respond thoughtfully, but swiftly, when threats arise. The authors offer many practical guidelines for achieving these goals, and aims to empower mental health professionals to work confidently and effectively in educational settings to reduce the distress, enhance the psychological well-being, and secure the safety of all schoolchildren.

Understanding Girls’ Friendships, Fights and Feuds: a Practical Approach to Girls’ Bullying. Valerie Besag, $48.95

Girls’ bullying is more subtle and less physical than that perpetrated by boys; however, it can be just as powerful and the emotional repercussions of bullying among girls can be more destructive and longer lasting than the effects of more obvious forms of bullying. Teachers report that quarrels between girls are far more time-consuming and difficult to resolve than the disputes of boys, yet not enough information is available to guide them on dealing with girls’ fighting and unhappiness caused by their relationships with other girls, many of whom may have been their closest friends.

Val Besag provides an in-depth understanding of girls’ bullying, exploring the mechanisms and language that girls use to entice some into their groups and exclude others.

• Programs for developing emotional literacy and resilience
