Went to a riveting beyond riveting beyond riveting seminar at Birkbeck on bullying at work. Psychoanalytic approaches to bullying-galore. Unitary self? Pah! Which means if you think you do only what you mean to do, and for reasons that you are fully conscious of, you are rather in the dark.
One academic likened looking at bullying to looking at the sun - you can't do it directly. Another said trying to eradicate bullying is like eradicate love.
Anyway, I've got my first commission for a feature on this work looking at how bullies often emerge because they are vulnerable, the relationship between bullies and victims, and how work coaches can reduce, remove and even prevent these unfortunate dynamics in the first place.
