Bullismo e relazioni familiari: uno sguardo pedagogico

Abstract

Adopting a mixed and integrated pedagogical model, this paper examines the roots of bullying in fraternal relationships in the family. Starting with some clinical considerations on the origins and causes of bullying, the paper argues and highlights the role of parental projections in determining the principles conflicts among children within the family. The argument is extended then to the analysis of some of the dynamics of bullying between siblings and to the link between these types of vicissitudes and bullying in the social context outside of the family. The paper concludes with some pedagogical considerations on the educational role of the family in the prevention of bullying.
