Abstract

This pilot study compares the prevalence of bullying or being bullied as detected by postal questionnaire with that identified by the initial case-worker in a Dublin adolescent out-patient psychiatric clinic over a six months period. Of 47 consecutive clinic attenders, the 25 who responded to the questionnaire reported a substantially higher rate of bullying or victimisation than had been elicited at intake. The study also explores the severity and extent of bullying as well as the respondents' subjective experiences and reactions in an attempt to gain a mini-profile of the problem in this hitherto unresearchedpopulation.
