In this podcast, podcast producer Roger Wood explores the issue of bullying, especially in schools and among young people. He consults two experienced professionals in the field, both psychologists. Nate Jones, a Brentwood resident, now consults for a psychology group in Bedford. And Stella O’Malley, a psychoanalyst from Dublin, Ireland, is the author of a book called “ Bully-Proof Kids.” The hope is that what is learned in this program will help parents, teachers and administrators deal more successfully with the problem.
Stella O’Malley is a psychotherapist, best-selling author, public speaker and a parent with many years’ experience working in counselling and psychotherapy. Born in Dublin, Stella now calls Birr, Co. Offaly home where she lives with her husband and two children and runs her private practice.
