Bullying and Emotional Abuse in the Workplace.
International perspectives in research and practise.
Einarsen, Hoel, Zapf and Cooper (eds.) Over the last
decade or so research into bullying, emotional abuse and harassment
at work, as distinct from harassment based on sex or race and primarily
of a non-physical nature, has emerged as a new field of study.
Two main academic streams have emerged: a European tradition
applying the concept of mobbing or bullying and the American tradition,
primarily identified through concepts such as emotional abuse and
mistreatment. One focuses on the perpetrator, the other on the
victim. In addition research in this field has also started
in Australia and South Africa. All are brought together in this
work, in a synthesis of research and analysis of practice in the field.
This book also aims to document the existence and consequences of
the problem of bullying, to explore its causes and to investigate
the effectiveness of approaches aimed at mitigating and managing the
problem, as well as to offer suggestions for further progress in this
important new field. Cost 55 British pounds, postage extra.

Breaking the Silence.
Overcoming the problem of principal Mistreatment of teacher.
Joseph Blase and Jo Blase. Corwin Press, Inc.
The detrimental effect of abusive principal behavior not only deteriorates
teacher morale and performance, but also erodes school effectiveness,
student learning and quality of life for everyone involved.
Unfortunately, this type of mistreatement - with its devastating implications
- has largely been ignored and treated as a taboo subject. In
this groundbreaking book, Blase and Blase begin the critical dialogue
about abuse by exposing the various manifestations of mistreatment,
and offering practical solutions for its prevention and correction.
Key features include: real-life examples and testimonials, specific
forms and indicators of mistreatment categorized into three levels,
detailed description of the effects on schools and teachers, professionally
and personally, solutions for overcoming this problem including six
survival skills. Visit http://www.corwinpress.com

Stalking the Soul. Emotional abuse and the erosion of identity.
By Marie-France Hirigoyen. Hirigoyen has written a book of extraordinary therapeutic
value. Her analysis of the often undetected manipulative patterns in destructive relationships
is both compassionate and profound, and makes for a fascinating, exciting,
and eye-opening reading experience. I think that many readers will find in it,
unexpectedly, not only a mirror reflecting their own life, but also-and
above all-the assistance of a knowing witness. It is only in the presence of such a witness that we may find
the courage and strength we need to confront our own painful truth
so that the understanding, and eventually healing, become possible."

of the Gifted Child

in politics, in sport, and in the workplace. This book aims to
stop workplace bullying from being 'swept under the carpet' by
highlighting the damage it does to the individual and the company. |

Deadly Disclosures, Dr William de Maria, Wakefield Press,
South Australia, 1999 (provides case studies which show bullying by
toxic organisations and the government of people who disclose issues
in the public interest. Also outlines the characteristics of toxic
organisations, the "bullying" process as it relates to whistleblowers,
including the "organisational vendetta" aimed at removing
the whistleblower from the workplace and in some cases results in
trumped-up charges of breaches of ethics or even criminal charges
against the whistleblower. Often "whistleblowers" are merely
doing their job or standing up for their beliefs - and pay a high
price.) |
