  Future Bullying and Victimization

  Policy as a Foundation to Bullying Prevention

  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.

  The reflecting team offers a valuable process for counselors-in-training to try out\nnew ideas and skills while offering a powerful intervention for clients. This\narticle will describe the reflecting team process and how it is used to teach\ncounseling skills in a graduate counseling practicum class.

  Using Reflecting Team in Counseling Practicum

  The Consequences of Bullying and Recommendations for Ecological Intervention

  Most clinicians think they are effective but have no true indicators that this is the case. Some may even be implementing evidence-based interventions yet have no true understanding of their results. Creating an Effective Couples Therapy Practice helps clinicians who provide couple’s or marriage therapy and counseling go from the ambiguous realm of “thinking” or “knowing” their effectiveness to being able to demonstrate it. It identifies effective strategies for common treatment concerns that connect to the successful outcomes of therapy. Here

  the process starts even before the couple enters therapy and goes beyond the final session. Dr. Losey discusses specific outcome measures and how they can be used in session so that the couple can assess their relationship and develop specific goals and interventions for treatment. The author also examines session notes

  pre-treatment change

  and developing quality post-treatment goals in his discussion of clinical effectiveness.
