Reviews and Endorsements
In exploring the inner worlds of disturbed students the aim of this book is twofold. One important aspect is to bring enhanced understanding of dynamics involved in incidents of school violence to professionals, family members, school staff, and the larger social system. The other facet of this book focuses on the introduction of tools and techniques that can be used to bring out the inner experiences of students that usually remain unspoken and unaddressed. In utilizing dream figures, myth, image, body awareness, and group dialogue, previously ignored or repressed phenomena can find a place
in which they can be contained and acknowledged.
'School Violence is a vital, timely contribution. Dr Rose recognizes that chronic denial of the daimonic is at least as dangerous in adolescence as adulthood. She skillfully applies the penetrating insights of depth psychology to decipher the deepening epidemic of anger, rage and violence in our schools. This book courageously honors the therapeutic power, wisdom and value in acknowledging and constructively expressing the daimonic or shadow rather than destructively repressing and demonizing it.'
- Dr Stephen Diamond, author of Anger, Madness, and the Daimonic
'In this helpful new book on school violence, Dr Ingrid Rose brings us theories and new practical methods for understanding and dealing with alienation, revenge, and the place of student conflicts in the larger educational and social systems.'
- Dr Arnold Mindell, author of Sitting in the Fire
