dc.description.notesAims to examine why the concept of stalking emerged as a significant social problem over the last decade and why it should be of major concern to mental health professionals. Details a multi-axial classification of stalking that lists five types of stalkers: the rejected stalker; the intimacy seeker; the incompetent suitor; the resentful stalker; and the predatory stalker. Defines stalking as the word now used for persistent harassment. Although stalking as a concept is relatively new, legal case reports of harassment date back as far as the 18th century. The authors outline possible reasons for the emergence of the concept of stalking including: increased focus on fame; greater instability in relationships; and feelings of rejection by men. They argue that the concept of stalking is positive because, without the emergence of this concept into our cultural vocabulary, it would not be possible to direct social, legal and health energies to support victims.en
