Abstract:
Stalking is a widespread phenomenon describing a pattern of intrusive and threatening behavior that leads to the victim's perception of being harrassed and rendered afraid. This paper summarizes relevant aspects of the current stalking concept and reviews its historical development. Furthermore, different typologies of stalking behavior, associated psychiatric diagnoses, frequency and demographic data, therapeutic approaches, and the psychomedical effect on victims are described and discussed. Stalking is not restricted to celebrities but can affect everybody. Members of the medical profession and other socially exposed people are especially potential victims of stalkers. Therefore, information on this topic is necessary in order to deal with it in a professional manner.
