Evelyn Field takes readers into the important journey on how to support vulnerable children with social skills to stand up for themselves when
facing bullying victimization. This is of special importance since prevention programmes fail to eliminate all bullying, and because there is a lack of
interventions that focus on help for bullying victims. A much-needed contribution to the field and a must-read for all involved.

Evelyn Field is a highly experienced worker in the area of prevention and treatment of cases of bullying in schools. She has focused especially on what children can do if they are being bullied by peers at school. Her latest book expands on her earlier acclaimed work in detailing how victimised students can be helped by teachers and parents to confront those who would bully by developing and employing appropriate social skills. The book is well written, clear and practical.

Evelyn Field gives a very detailed understanding of bullying in schools and provides exercises that teachers can practise to really understand the
concept of bullying. She provides strategies for teachers to make a difference in bullied victims' lives. She does a wonderful job balancing important information on bullying as well as providing the counseling aspect and how to really talk to children in a constructive and helpful way.

It is very exciting that we now have the latest edition of Bully Blocking. For many educators and parents, this has become the bible for the management of bullying in Australian schools. This update takes into account the changes that have happened in society and how they have impacted bullying.

With so many bullying books available, I am so grateful that I was recommended Evelyn's book. Her book is powerful, credible, and provides
highly effective strategies for teachers, counsellors and clinicians to support and guide children and young people who are victims of bullying.
