The Bullies: The Rationale of Bullying

The Bullies: The Rationale of BullyingIs there a particular type of person who becomes a bully? Why do bullies behave like they do? How can we interpret and understand bullying within relationships? The Bullies attempts to get inside the minds of the bully and the victim - the child, the adolescent and the adult - across a wide range of 'closed' situations including the home, school, workplace, prisons and the armed services.

By listening to the voices of bullies and victims from all kinds of backgrounds without making judgments, counselor Dennis Lines provides unique insights into bullying and what makes such domineering and aggressive behavior so complex. He discusses controversial issues such as genetic predisposition towards abusive behavior and draws on his counseling knowledge to provide insights on how to understand and treat bullies to change their behavior.
The Bullies offers a unique and illustrated perspective on a widespread phenomenon, and will be essential reading for psychologists, sociologists, counselors, teachers, social workers, probation officers, students and researchers.

This book provides an indispensable basic introduction to textual analysis. McKee starts from the most basic philosophical foundations that underlie the practice and explains why texts are important and what they tell us about the world they represent.
