Evelyn Fields stellar contribution to the field of workplace bullying is to pull from the research literature, from her practice as counsellor and therapist, and from her own hard experience, eminently practical lessons for how to respond to the problem in ways that actually make things better. She is too wise a lady to fall for panaceas or to pander to pipe dreams. She is attentive to evidence, sober and methodical. What is more, her prose sparkles with clarity and punch and for that reason, is genuinely helpful to people brutalised at work. Kenneth Westhues, PhD Professor Emeritus of Sociology & Legal Studies University of Waterloo, Canada

This is an important book, a sophisticated and comprehensive primer on managing workplace bullying, the next generation of books on this topic. This book moves beyond the victim perspective for those who have experienced bullying and provides sound advice for healing and rebuilding after bullying. If you have experienced workplace bullying and are struggling to recover, you must read this book. If you are an HR professional, you must consider this book your textbook.
