Product Description

Product Description

Illustrated throughout with case studies and interviews, Peter Randall explores the problems associated with bullying, the reasons for them, and the characteristics of the two parties - bullies and victims.


From the Back Cover

Adult Bullying has been written as the result of community anti-bullying projects in which distressingly large numbers of adults came forward for help, both as victims and as bullies. Peter Randall provides a detailed consideration of the nature and range of bullying, located within instrumental and affective agression. He describes the learning processes and the family backgrounds that give rise to bullies and victims, both as children and later as adults. The pervasive nature of these patterns shows that personal harrassment becomes a way of life, leading to a significant influence within the workplace and the community.
Detailed case histories are used as illustrations throughout the text, providing evidence of the importance of bullying for those in business. Both non-specific bullying and the particular form known as sexual harrassment are shown to be common and, because some managers frequently use bullying tactics as part of their management style, sometimes difficult to trace. A detailed example of a personal harassment policy that works is provided, along with descriptions of the information needed to be given to managers and staff, including selection procedures, staff training and employee assistance programmes.
Adult Bullying will be a valuable resource for managers, counsellors, social workers and anyone who has experienced bullying whether as victim or perpetrator.

5.0 out of 5 stars Without a doubt, the best available book on adult bullying, 15 April 2000
By Mr. Ac Ellis "Andy" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Several years ago whilst reading labour studies in Ruskin College, Oxford, I decided to write my dissertation on workplace bullying in the UK retail industry. There were very few books available in 1996 butI was lucky enough to find this publication.

This book summarised the vast bulk of the research available and slanted it to reflect on the authors own personal experience.

I read this publication from cover to cover in just 4 days! It was so well written that I just did not want to put it down until I had finished.

This book deals with the issues of adult bullying from all angles. As somebody who runs a website on the legal issues surrounding workplace bullying I have made it my business to read many publications on this topic, both published and unpublished. Randalls remains at the pinacle.

I would recomend this book to anybody, whether target, bully or academic.
