文摘

Bullying behavior and the impact of bullying behavior on children and adolescents has received considerable attention in empirical and clinical literature over the last two decades. Increasingly, empirical research is demonstrating that the psychological effects of being bullied persist into adulthood. There is less literature available that describes clinical processes with adults who were bullied as children. After reviewing the literature that discusses the long-term effects on adults of being victimized by bullies, and the literature that describes hegemonic views of masculinity, this paper gives a detailed clinical illustration in which the victimization of the client as a child becomes a core feature of the psychotherapy. Of importance, the client needed to reshape his view of masculinity as he worked through the trauma of having been bullied as a child. Recommendations for further work are given.
