Illustrated throughout with case studies and interviews, Peter Randall explores the problems associated with bullying, the reasons for them, and the characteristics of the two parties - bullies and victims.

A detailed example of a personal harassment policy that works is provided, along with descriptions of the information needed to be given to managers and staff, including selection procedures, staff training and employee assistance programmes. Adult Bullying will be a valuable resource for managers, counsellors, social workers and anyone who has experienced bullying whether as victim or perpetrator.
