Estrategias de intervención ante el acoso psicológico en víctimas de seis a ocho años de edad

The term bullying comes from the English word "bully" meaning aggressor, so the bullying or harassment is not an inconsequential action or casual but intentional negative, and victims are placed in positions that are difficult to get out on their own, since it appears in a systematic manner and for a period of time. This term is used to describe the various types of unwanted behaviors such as physical, verbal and psychological, the latter being the subject of our research interest. Although no visual scarring psychological abuse can make the life of the child victim, in recent years as research has seen this as a way to resolve conflicts between equals, so that Harris (2003) notes that "psychological harassment destabilizing the victim begins to get progressively lose confidence in themselves and in others, it is unable to react to new situations that submit ", this attitude of helplessness is used by the child offender to submit to the victim and thus to dominate, getting their isolation. Psychological abuse is based on intentional behavior, executed from a position of power and aimed at belittling the child and to fulfill its objective which is to produce psychic damage, destroy self-confidence and reduce the child victim.
