A Must-Read for Counselors and Educators,
This book is a must-read for school counselors, teachers, administrators and other professionals who want a solid, research-based, and comprehensive guide on counseling for cyberbullying. This is not just another book on cyberbullying. While cyberbullying is a growing concern, and more and more materials are available, there is no other book for counselors which is as complete and powerful. Dr. Bauman lays a great foundational overview of theories of aggressive behavior (without overwhelming with detail), and then describes specific, practical counseling strategies for bullies, victims and their parents. She addresses cyberbullying at various age ranges (from younger children to adults), and considers the effectiveness of punitive versus non-punitive approaches. I found particularly unique her discussions of restorative justice and practice and the method of shared concern, which are ideas rarely discussed in books on cyberbullying. Her chapter on the various roles of counselors (including advocacy, training, counseling and ethics) is excellent and challenges and empowers counselors to have a broader impact through key functions with respect to combating cyberbullying. Her appendix on current research and key findings on cyberbullying is a tremendous added value. As another professional in the cyberbullying field, I can vouch that Dr. Bauman has the “heads above” respect of her peers — producing numerous articles of new research, heading up a leading think tank of international experts, and now this — filling a key gap in cyberbullying literature for counselors.
