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.
