Editorial Reviews

”In this helpful new book on school violence, Dr Ingrid Rose brings us theories and new practical methods for understanding and dealing with alienation, revenge, and the place of student conflicts in the larger educational and social systems.

Dr Arnold Mindell

School Violence is a vital, timely contribution. Dr Rose recognizes that chronic denial of the daimonic is at least as dangerous in adolescence as adulthood. She skillfully applies the penetrating insights of depth psychology to decipher the deepening epidemic of anger, rage and violence in our schools. This book courageously honors the therapeutic power, wisdom and value in acknowledging and constructively expressing the daimonic or shadow rather than destructively repressing and demonizing it.
