Violence prevention expert Pemla Orpinas and experienced child and family psychologist Arthur Horne combine their expertise in Bullying Prevention: Creating A Positive School Climate And Developing Social Competence, an in-depth guide especially written for public school officials but also valuable to parents and anyone responsible for the supervision of children. Though Bullying Prevention does delve into psychological theories, it explains psychological models, risk factors, and much more in clear terms so that readers of all backgrounds will have no trouble understanding. Bullying Prevention dispels common myths about bullying, and recommends taking steps not only to minimize risk factors, but to build positive prevention factors and encourage a safe and productive school environment. An equitable balance between advanced psychological theory and tested practical solutions, Bullying Prevention is strongly recommended reading.
