Focuses on the development of organizational cultures that promote the dignity of all employees and thereby reduce the incidence and impact of bullying. The contributors contend that this can be achieved through the creation of organizational cultures of respect and requires organizations to establish a range of integrated policies, structures and interventions. Theory is integrated with evidence and practice to present an approach that can be used to educate organizations and practitioners.

Over the last decade or so research into bullying, emotional abuse, and harassment at work 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. Bullying and Emotional Abuse in the Workplace documents the existence and consequences of the problem of bullying, explores its causes, and investigates the effectiveness of approaches aimed at mitigating and managing the problem, as well as offering suggestions for further progress in this important new field.

Peter Randall's first book, Adult Bullying , was one of the first books to examine the various situations in which adult bullying occurs, the forms it takes, and how it can be identified and dealt with more efficiently, particularly in workplace settings. Since that title was published, there has been more awareness of the extent of adult bullying. In Bullying in Adulthood: Assessing the Bullies and their Victims , other aspects of the problem are examined, such as research and clinical issues, and in particular, assessment of bullies and victims and the background factors to such behaviour. This has become increasingly important as the problem begins to be appreciated and addressed within therapeutic, social and legal arenas. A number of strategies are suggested both for dealing with bullying and victim behaviour and for monitoring situations, for example by employers to see if problems improve. To assist in this process Peter Randall proposes a model of adult bullying which enables clinicians and human resources specialists to determine which factors are influential in individual cases. This book will appeal to practitioners and researchers in clinical/counselling psychology, counsellors, managers/human resources staff and social workers.
