Rosemary Stones is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist in private practice in Covent Garden, London.

She is also the editor of Books for Keeps, a children’s literature review journal. She wrote the book on bullying because her daughter had been bullied at school and she wished she’d been able to help her more at that time. In her therapy practice now she comes across patients who have experienced bullying so the impact of this behaviour is something that continues to interest her.
