Overview

Bullying is a big problem in schools, which in recent years has generated a lot of media attention through its occasional tragic consequences. This media attention, coupled with research generated over the last 30 years, has culminated in many schools writing and adhering to policies in order to tackle the issues that arise with verbal and physical bullying, as well as cyber bullying; an issue that has been very much on the rise.

This course is designed as an add-on to our psychotherapy and counselling courses, and for anyone who wishes to learn more about bullying. It provides clear definitions, and a conceptual framework through which students can understand the motivating factors behind bullying, bullying through the eyes of adults and children, intervention and prevention techniques, policies, research and studies, as well as ways of dealing with the psychological aftermath of bullying and the way forward in curriculum, management and policy.
