Treating Stalking: A Practical Guide For Clinicians (PDF)

by Troy McEwan (Author)
 

TREATING STALKING
Understand and address the drivers of stalking behaviour with this vital guide
In the thirty-five years since stalking was identified as harmful behaviour, addressing its social effects has largely fallen to criminal justice systems. There is, however, significant evidence to suggest that pure criminalisation has limited meaningful impact. Mental health and other interventions for people who stalk may be the only serious path to relief for many stalking victims. Despite this, robust research into treatment for people who stalk remains rare, and relevant resources for treatment providers few.
Treating Stalking is the first comprehensive guide for clinicians on this vital subject. It outlines 10 principles of effective intervention and gives detailed, practical, advice about delivering psychological and other treatment. It’s content draws on decades of research and clinical experience, but Treating Stalking also proposes a stalking research agenda to help ensure that future practice is evidence-based.
Treating Stalking readers will also find:
Case examples and worksheets from the authors’ psychological practice Detailed advice on assessment, risk assessment, case formulation, and ethical and legal issues Discussion of multidisciplinary and multiagency management to help stop stalking
Treating Stalking is a must-have for any psychologist or other mental health professional looking to treat patients who stalk.
