Psychology of Bullying: Mindset of the Perpetrator Webinar – Single User

Description

Grades K-12
Several recent studies reveal the long-term psychological repercussions of bullying on all who are involved: the aggressor/perpetrator, the target/victim, and those who witness these despicable events. A study published in the most recent issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry concludes, “The effects of bullying are still visible nearly four decades later … with health, social and economic consequences lasting well into adulthood.” The study was led by Ryu Takizawa, M.D., Ph.D at the Institute of Psychiatry at King’s College London.

Williams III, Ph.D, aka “Dr. Chuck” national speaker, leading expert in child & adolescent psychotherapy and an educational psychologist who has joint faculty appointments at the University level will help participants audit current literature and the latest research on bullying. He will also examine recent case studies (some pulled from news headlines), where the role of the perpetrator will be highlighted. The psychological and emotional “profiles” of school-aged youth who bully will be discussed.
