About the book:
The phenomenon of bullying has been receiving widespread attention over the past number of years, exaggerated by a few violent mass slayings that somehow have been connected rather arbitrarily to the perpetrators being bullying victims. At the same time, we have yet to find anyone who has not experienced some form of bullying or who has not been viewed by others as being a bully. So is bullying a new behaviour recently acquired to deal with modern life, or just an old behaviour that has been around for a long time and actually serves some purpose in human evolution? During our 60-plus years of experience in psychology and education, we have had occasion to deal with many forms of bullying that arose with children from two to 22 years of age. As we looked back, in each case there was invariably significant, specific, individualized learning for each person in the event, whether it was the bully, the bullied, the observer or the intervener. It suggested to us that bullying is a tool that we all use to evolve as individuals. It suggested that bullying is a tool that we all use to learn important things about ourselves, other people, and the world in general. —from the Introduction
