"Dr. Leonard provides readers with a groundbreaking new perspective on the psychology of bullying. Using the concept of projective identification, Dr. Leonard masterfully explores the common misperceptions of bullying in order to demonstrate why most anti-bullying campaigns today aren't successful. Dr. Leonard's eye-opening text teaches us that it is only by first understanding the true psychological structure of a bully that we can prevent and put an end to bullying in homes, schools, and workplaces. Dr. Leonard uses a diverse range of real-life examples from her clinical practice in order to reveal some of the dominant characteristics of bullies, showcase the painful effects that bullying behaviors have on victims, and provide a insightful step-by-step process about how to successfully outsmart and stop bullies. Dr. Leonard has delivered a must-read book that will help parents, educators, and other professionals strategize how they can help put an end to bullies and support their victims." -Hailey Sheets, Communications Professor, Southwestern Michigan College
