About the Author

Dr. Dorothy Lenthall worked in schools for many years, first as a teacher and later as a school psychologist. Being surrounded by students seeking help with the problem, she realized that effective anti-bullying programmes urgently needed to be put in place. She sought advice from world leaders on how to approach the situation and researched the effect of bystanders on bullying for her Doctorate in Communication. The plight of parents not knowing where to turn to get effective help for their bullied child was the driving force behind the writing of this book.

She works as a psychologist in Perth, Western Australia and teaches in a voluntary capacity at the Fremantle Community Centre. She is married with three adult children and lives in Fremantle.
