Mobbing und Cybermobbing in der Schule

Bullying and cyberbullying are phenomena that can significantly burden the everyday lives of children and adolescents—potentially leading to illness or even suicide. But what exactly is bullying? How can it be distinguished from everyday conflicts, and how can one prevent it? These questions become increasingly difficult to answer as the realm of interaction moves away from parents and educators—such as in the case of cyberbullying.

The author, Christine Laude, founder of the Hamburg Institute for Social Design and Mediation, and a long-time consultant and trainer at Waldorf schools, understands bullying as a systemic issue that affects not only individual students but the entire school community and can be addressed from this perspective. Based on Rudolf Steiner's anthropology and in connection with the latest research literature, she highlights the opportunities and potentials that lie in the No Blame Approach, especially when dealing with adolescents. No Blame means that bullying can be resolved without assigning blame to individuals if the adult caregivers provide suitable spaces for resonance and conversation and maintain and model healthy and resilient social relationships. This volume offers a practical guide for intervention and provides suggestions for further reflection.
