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.

Colleen Sinclair, Associate Professor of Psychology, Mississippi State University "Cupach and Spitzberg provide the reader with a multidisciplinary framework for understanding the nature and impact of unwanted relationship pursuits. This book is an excellent resource for students and professionals alike who seek to gain knowledge about unwanted relational pursuits and stalking." —Journal of Couple & Relationship Therapy The Dark Side of Relationship Pursuit provides historical and definitional frames for studying unwanted relationship pursuit, and considers the role of the media, law, and social science research in shaping today’s conceptualizations of stalking. The volume integrates research from diverse contributing fields and disciplines, providing a thorough summary and assessment of current knowledge on stalking and obsessive pursuit.

As an increasing number of scholarly disciplines and professional fields study stalking and other forms of obsessive relationship pursuit, this book is a must-have resource for examining interpersonal conflict, social and personal relationships, domestic violence, unrequited love, divorce and relational dissolution, and harassment.

Book Synopsis Bad Men Do What Good Men Dream by : Robert I. Simon
Download or read book Bad Men Do What Good Men Dream written by Robert I. Simon and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2009-02-20 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Simon's Bad Men Do What Good Men Dream: A Forensic Psychiatrist Illuminates the Darker Side of Human Behavior is that rare title that is both essential reading for the mental health professional and accessible in style and content to the fascinated lay reader. In twelve powerful and provocative chapters, the author introduces readers to a psychological perspective on evil, character and destiny, as well as the making of good men and women. Simon also illuminates the psychology of psychopaths, serial killers, rapists and all manner of evil characters who appall and challenge us by their very existence. He rejects the common belief that his subjects are "monsters" with nothing in common with the more "normal" among us. Simon posits that if we deny our dark side, it can only obscure our understanding of violent offenders and impede our ability to both know ourselves and control our own, at times, unacceptable impulses. The author is among the foremost experts in forensic psychiatry. He is Director of the Program in Psychiatry and Law at Georgetown University School of Medicine. Author or co-author of more than two dozen books and editions, including the foundational Textbook of Forensic Psychiatry, Simon has made important contributions to the field of forensic psychiatry for more than 30 years. He is also an eloquent writer with a dramatic, yet nuanced, narrative style that takes the reader inside the mind of the evildoer. The first edition of this groundbreaking work garnered uniformly superlative reviews and was translated into several languages. This updated version retains Simon's engrossing portrayals and keen insight, while offering a number of key enhancements. The highlights include: Explorations of the Internet and violence, "corporate" psychopaths, cyberstalkers, perpetrators of school violence, and a new cast of serial killers, terrorists, and other evildoers. A psychological perspective on evil, serial killers, and us. Updates on the neuroscience and genetics of deviant behaviors. Reflections on empathy, character, and destiny: the making of good men and women. A new foreword by Thomas G. Gutheil, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Co-Founder, Program in Psychiatry and the Law at Harvard Medical School, that illuminates Simon's thesis and grounds it in historical context. Graphic but never sensational, unsparing but never cold, Simon's writing transcends the theoretical and achieves that most difficult of aims: leading readers to discover, contain, and transform the darkness within us all, to the betterment of our human condition.

Book Synopsis Stalking in the Netherlands by : Suzan van der Aa
Download or read book Stalking in the Netherlands written by Suzan van der Aa and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2010 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing love letters, making phone calls, and sending gifts, these are all seemingly innocuous behaviours. This changes when the love expressed in the letters remains unrequited, when the phone calls amount to hundreds a night, or when the gifts consist of bullets and funeral wreaths. When attempts to contact another person happen with a certain nature and frequency, the behaviour can be qualified as stalking and it can have a detrimental impact on the life of the person subjected to the unwanted attention. In this book an account is given of the nature and prevalence of the problem of stalking in the Netherlands, of the effectiveness and the (dis)advantages of resorting to the police, and of the pros and cons of two alternative anti-stalking measures: hiring the services of a private investigation and protection agency and obtaining a civil restraining order.

Download or read book Stalking written by Debra A. Pinals and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-06-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 Treating Stalking written by Troy McEwan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2024-02-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
