Stalking is illegal behavior defined as unwanted contact that is repetitive and experienced as intrusive and/or threatening by the victim. One third of stalkers stalk more than one person and the overwhelming majority of stalkers use more than one method of stalking. While characteristics of stalkers vary, they are generally characterized as rejected, incompetent or predatory in type, with the latter associated with a criminal history and high rates of violence. Stalker characteristics can differentiate them from other criminals, in areas of persistence, relentless obsession, fantasy motivations and childhood histories. For the victim of stalking, there are long-term and significant psychological trauma and disruption of life. Specific threat assessments, case management and judicial interventions and clinical interventions, have been developed to track and prevent additional harm to the victims of stalking. This online CE course will provide clinicians with information and skills necessary to assess and treat victims of stalking for psychological injury, identify categories of stalkers, consult and assist law enforcement officials in specific stalking cases, and provide clinically relevant interventions to those involved in stalking.
