It may start with a chance meeting or a casual smile. It could
begin at work, on a blind date, or at the end of a relationship or
a marriage. Every year, 3.4 million Americans are stalked by former
partners, by co-workers, by strangers. Despite these epidemic
numbers, all too often victims' complaints continue to be ignored.
Meanwhile, both the stalking dynamic and the toll it takes continue
to be misunderstood. National journalist, bestselling writer and
stalking expert Linden Gross provides all the necessary tools
readers need to know to handle inappropriate obsessive attention.
Readers will discover how to control their natural reactions (which
often put victims at a disadvantage), how to stop feeding the
obsessive interaction that perpetuates stalking situations, and how
to protect their privacy and safety. Gross explains how these
dangerous obsessions begin, the patterns they take, how targets can
protect themselves, and what potential victims can do before the
nightmare becomes a reality. Knowledge is power. Armed with
information and perspective, stalking victims can make the
decisions and choose the course of action that makes sense for
them. If you're a victim, Surviving a Stalker will teach you: How
to recognize and control actions and reactions that put you at risk
How to handle inappropriate attention online and off How to protect
your privacy and safety as well as the privacy and safety of your
loved ones How to break the stalking cycle and regain control of
your life If you're a professional who deal with stalking, the
multitude of case studies in Surviving a Stalker will provide you
with a clearer understanding of the crime and the devastating
impact it has on its targets. In addition to profiling stalkers and
their victims, Surviving a Stalker delves deeper into the subject,
offering critical insights on how best to handle stalking while
also covering police and legal issues, behavioral and psychological
patterns that lead to an escalation of violence. The author was
aided in her research by the prominent Los Angeles security
advisor, Gavin de Becker, who wrote the book's foreword. De Becker,
author of the national bestseller The Gift of Fear, is widely
regarded as our nation's leading expert on stalking. His work has
earned him three Presidential appointments, as well as a position
on a congressional committee on stalking.
