Description
In our society, bullying is commonly seen as a normal, inescapable part of growing up that children and adolescents must simply endure. In Bullying, Suicide, and Homicide, Butch Losey challenges this viewpoint, arguing that bullying is not a part of childhood development, but rather an aberrant behavior that, for the victim, can lead to adverse decisions, such as suicide and homicide. He provides a detailed understanding of the relationship between bullying, suicide, and homicide and an assessment and response strategy that can be utilized by mental health professionals who work with children and adolescents. This strategy involves a three stage ecological approach: screening to identify warning signs for bullying, depression, suicide, and violence by means of the Bullying Lethality Identification System (BLIS), developed by Losey and a colleague; assessing the risks of suicide and threats of violence using specially tailored forms and tools; and mediating to identify appropriate interventions. All of the associated tools and forms that the author has created are included as appendices and on the accompanying CD. Losey’s sensitive and compassionate treatment of this important subject will inform and motivate mental health professionals in their work with victims of bullying.
Reviews
Review “The book is intended for residency but also for all involved in perioperative medicine to increase awareness and competence in a concise manner. In my opinion, the textbook serves well as a quick refresher for anesthesiologists of all ages. … I recommend the book to all who are eager to practice well and who need a good context for a comprehensive understanding of catastrophic perioperative complications and how to manage them.” (Sigridur H. Kalman, Anesthesia & Analgesia, Vol. 130 (6), June, 2020)”The book can be a valuable resource for anesthesia residents, SRNAs, CRNAs, or anesthesiologists. … The chapters are well organized, convey the right amount of information about the complication and its management, use diagrams, tables, or boxed points to better explain or emphasize learning points, and end with review questions to assess what was retained.” (Kevin R Bauereis, Doody’s Book Reviews, July 05, 2019)
