Book excerpt: Address the root causes of stalking behavior with this vital guide In the approximately thirty-five years since stalking was identified as a form of harmful behavior, addressing its social effects has largely fallen to the criminal justice system. There is significant evidence, however, to suggest that pure criminalization is an ineffective response, and that mental health treatment for people who stalk may be the only serious path to relief for stalking victim. Despite this, however, robust research into treatment for people who stalk remains rare, and relevant resources for mental health providers few. Treating Stalking is among the first comprehensive overviews of this vital subject. Drawing on decades of combined research and clinical experience, it identifies stalking as a form of maladaptive behavior potentially responsive to psychological therapy and other treatments. It is designed to aid clinicians looking to structure a clinical program and stop stalking behavior. Treating Stalking readers will also find: Case examples and worksheets from authors’ practices Attention to multidisciplinary programs, including pharmacological and occupational interventions Detailed treatment of ethical and legal issues related to treating stalking Treating Stalking is a must-have for any psychologist or other mental health professional looking to treat patients who stalk.

Book excerpt: Over the last two decades, stalking has received increasingly widespread attention. The establishment of anti-stalking legislation has helped to spur interest in stalking research and the forensic assessment of stalkers. Popular representations of stalking have made the public more aware of this phenomenon. It has long been the responsibility of mental health professionals to provide assessments of and treatment for stalkers and their victims, and as criminal cases involving defendants charged with stalking become more common, it is now also the responsibility of legal professionals to be knowledgeable about psychiatric aspects of stalking behavior and the risks that so often must be minimized through legal action or a combination of clinical and legal interventions. This volume provides a thorough overview of current scientific and clinical research about stalking, along with practical guidance and original commentary from the Psychiatry and the Law Committee of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, an organization recognized for its contributions to mental health literature. In addition to covering the most widely discussed scientific topics related to stalking, including classification of stalking behaviors, risk assessment and risk management of stalkers, and the stalking experience from the perspective of victims, this book examines celebrity and special target stalking, cyberstalking, forensic assessment, and juvenile and adolescent stalking. Stalking: Psychiatric Perspectives and Practical Approaches provides a novel and comprehensive contribution to a field in need of an up-to-date text, written from the vantage point of forensic psychiatrists who encounter stalkers and their victims in their distinct roles as treatment providers and forensic evaluators. The prism of stalking and the risks involved continue to fascinate and frighten. In pursuit of rounded coverage, the authors have incorporated findings from numerous studies and analyzed these findings from several theoretical perspectives. Every chapter has been written from the vantage point of a committee of nationally recognized forensic psychiatrists who offer their perspectives on this fascinating but complex topic. Mental health professionals, members of the judiciary, law enforcement professionals, media personnel, and the public will no doubt find this text to be an informative and useful resource.

Download or read book Stalker Poison written by Shaun Sundahl and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-22 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IF YOU ARE TIRED OF BEING STALKED OR PHYSICALLY ABUSED BY YOUR PARTNER OR EX-PARTNER, HERE ARE 7 REASONS YOU SHOULD READ STALKER POISON IMMEDIATELY!#1 - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SURVIVORS EDITED THIS BOOK - We actively sought and recruited several editors who had firsthand experience with intimate partner violence (IPV) or indirectly through family members as they grew up, all of whom were Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in their own right. Additionally, we were able to find several editors who have helped a victim close to them escape a violent situation. By doing so, these editors became our SMEs. #2 - CRITICAL EDITS BY ATTORNEYS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COUNSELORS, AND VICTIM ADVOCATES -We recruited SMEs who have professional experience working with victims of IPV, including those with experience as attorneys, rape crisis and domestic violence counselors, victim advocates, and women's shelter workers. This array of multicultural experts provided this book with an authentic and broad perspective on how IPV and stalking impact the lives of survivors and how these issues can be faced and overcome. #3 - CRITICAL REVIEW BY COMPUTER EXPERTS -In Stalker Poison, we review cyberstalking and prevention strategies. Three computer experts from around the globe were hired to review our discussion of cyberstalking as an issue, the remedy, and investigation procedures. Their input strengthened our recommendations and made difficult concepts easier for you to read.#4 - STRICT FOCUS ON SAFETY PLANNING - The majority of books on stalking deal mainly with news stories, the psychological profile of stalkers, and the different methods of stalking. While this information is interesting, there is a void readers experience--they still don't know how to handle their situation and the options that are available. #5 - STRICT FOCUS ON DANGEROUS EX PARTNERS - In this book, we need to acknowledge that stalking behavior stops when the stalker is incapacitated, either through imprisonment, physical limitation, death, or a change of a target. If none of these options are present, we must deal with the stalker. Taking it up a notch, this book is specifically about dealing with a stalker who is planning to kill or severely injure you. Obviously, we don't know what a stalker is thinking, but fortunately, this book will explore behavior consistent with him harming you or others.#6 - STRICT FOCUS ON INTIMATE PARTNER STALKING - This book was written specifically for those of you who were or are in an intimate relationship with your stalker--or, at the very least, have had a first date--and as a result of the discontinuance of the relationship, you became the victim of stalking or intimate partner violence. #7 - THE AUTHOR IS ACTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO TRAINS PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS - As a veteran law enforcement officer, Shaun Sundahl has investigated hundreds of stalking and domestic violence cases. With every case Shaun investigates, something new is to be learned and he passes on his knowledge to his reader. Being a private investigator helps readers, because private investigators must be experts at public record searches and be an expert at finding people. As a private investigator, Shaun can explain how stalkers get your information and he provides plans on how you can delay (or keep) stalkers from finding you.

This authoritative book brings together contributions from a team of leading scholars and practitioners that discuss a diverse range of interrelated topics and issues relevant to stalking and intrusive behavior from both theoretical and practical contexts. Whereas most of the literature on the subject is written from a Western viewpoint, this unique volume examines empirical research, policies, and practices from Asian and African countries, as well as those from Europe, the Americas, and Australia, to provide a truly global perspective. Divided into three parts, the book first examines theories and research on cross-national differences in stalking among college students, ex-partner stalking in Finland, cyberstalking victimization in Singapore, the heterogeneity of stalking and stalkers in Australia, public familiarity and understanding of stalking/harassing legislation in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and more. The book’s second part focuses on national portraits of stalking in a number of understudied populations, including Lithuania, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, and South Africa. Finally in the third section of the book, the chapters largely emphasize policy and best practice, including the Dutch model of policing stalking, risk assessment and management of stalking in Sweden, psycho-legal responses to online interpersonal harm, the German approach to stopping stalking, the United Kingdom response to assessing and managing stalking, and the work of the Danish Stalking Centre. This important contribution to the field: Offers insights from international professionals applicable in other geographical contexts Discusses the factors that influence social awareness and responses to stalking Explores the importance of victim vulnerability factors when managing risk of stalking Presents real-world case studies of stalking behavior, intimate partner violence, stalking victimization, and statutory and law enforcement efforts Reviews the intervention practices of the support institutions and justice systems of different countries Psycho-Criminological Approaches to Stalking Behavior: The International Perspective is an ideal primary or supplementary text for courses in criminology, criminal justice, forensic psychology, and social and behavioral science, as well as a valuable source of reference for those who deal with offenders or victims of stalking, including law enforcement agents, mental health professionals, legal practitioners, social services personnel, and policy makers.
