Stalking has moved from being a novel area for study to become a
core area of concern for mental health professionals, lawyers and
other members of the criminal justice system. It has emerged as a
significant social problem which not only commands considerable
public attention but is now, in many jurisdictions, a specific form
of criminal offence. This new edition brings the reader completely
up-to-date with the explosion in published research and clinical
studies in the field, and covers new issues such as cyberstalking,
stalking health professionals, stalking in the workplace, female
stalkers, juvenile stalkers, stalking celebrities, evaluating risk
in the stalking situation, as well as exploring changes to the
legal status of the behaviour. Illustrated with case studies
throughout, this is the definitive guide and reference for anyone
with professional, academic or other interests in this complex
behaviour.
A practical and comprehensive survival manual for victims of stalking and related crimes, Surviving Stalking offers sound, realistic and practical advice to victims and guidance through each stage of the criminal justice processes in America, Britain, and Australia. Using case studies, Michele Pathé describes the traumatic effects of stalking, the course of these symptoms, and how best to access psychological care and support. A comprehensive book for a general readership, it provides a contemporary account of victim types, stalker types, stalkers' motives, strategies to prevent and overcome stalking, and a list of resources available to stalking victims. Surviving Stalking will be of great interest not only to those who have been or are being stalked, but also to the health, law enforcement, and legal professionals who work with stalkers and their victims. Michele Pathé is Director of the Stalking and Threat Management Centre and Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, Victorian Institute of Forensic Mental Health, Victoria, Australia. Pathé is the co-author of Stalkers and Their Victims (Cambridge, 2000), winner of the American Psychiatric Association's 2001 Manfred S. Guttmacher award for an outstanding contribution to the literature in forensic psychiatry.
