Synopsis
Bullying, Impact on Health, and Beyond is a systematic review of at least 2,000 published studies on bullying and other forms of victimization. The goal of the book is to promote an understanding of the wide range of health risks associated with bullying, a multifaceted form of psychosocial stressor that can be prevalent along the lifespan, crossing social, cultural, and geographic boundaries. This text intends to highlight bullying as a form of victimization, while advancing the notion of a spectrum of maltreatment. Through its 20 chapters, the book provides documented academic evidence about what is known, so far, about the concept and nature of bullying and other forms of victimization; their global prevalence; association with morbidity, psychosocial risks and mortality and clinical strategies for their prevention, detection, intervention and treatment. Furthermore, this text emphasizes the notion and significance of poly-victimization and revictimization, while focusing on the occurrence of bullying and other forms of maltreatment in schools; the home milieu and neighborhood; workplace; cyberspace; sports; dating relationships; tertiary education; military training; and witnessing others being victimized. The author's decades of clinical and advocacy efforts to prevent, detect and treat the deleterious effects of bullying and other forms of victimization are reflected through all chapters with recommendations for future research, clinical and public policy strategies to target this problem.
