The Method of Shared Concern
A positive approach to bullying in schools
Ken Rigby
ACER Press 2011
Originally conceived by Swedish Psychologist Anatol Pikas and adapted
in line with ground-breaking government-sponsored studies in Australia,
The Method of Shared Concern describes the multi-stage process in
which suspected bullies and their victims are individually interviewed
and eventually brought together in an effort to reach resolution. Guided
by a trained practitioner, students are actively engaged and rather than
being labelled or blamed, are empowered with a heightened sense of
responsibility and empathy toward each other and their school.
Intended primarily for use by teachers and school counsellors, The
Method of Shared Concern demonstrates through practical examples
and real-world case studies how the method can be applied in any school
environment, as one important way in which cases of bullying can be
effectively managed.
