Abstract
“As much as parents like to think that bullying is something that’s outgrown in childhood, unfortunately it’s actually on the increase in adolescence. There are various individual and school-based approaches to dealing with bullying, but a new intervention that you might find surprising is none other than family therapy.” This 2-page Family Album Radio transcript was written by Kate Fogarty and published by the UF Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences, August 2012.
