Dogs don't eat Mice

Being bullied at work doesn't mean you are weak or should find another job. The author is a family doctor who felt that there must be a better way to resolving workplace conflict than certifying time off with "Occupational Stress": he wrote a story and gave it to his patients who were mostly able to get back to earning a living in peace. Unlike most books on adult bullying, this is a guide to surviving through bullying to restore the individual's sense of wellbeing. It is based on established psychological theories and has been used in the author's clinical practice to help adult patients who were being bullied (usually at work). The simple, easy to read parable allows victims to understand why they have been bullied and how to restore a good working relationship with their bully (who is often their boss). Victims of bullying feel disempowered, stigmatised and depressed. The solution offered here isn't about fighting, blaming or running away, just a simple but effective approach to making things better.
