5 Types of Stalkers? Understanding Their Modus Operandi - Psychotherapy Crash Course
2,154Stalking is a serious crime and a form of abuse. It hurts the best of us. Stalking doesn't choose race, ethnicity, class or socio-economic status, age, etc. It affects about 1.4 million of the population and between 20% to 30% of people have to seek counseling.
Males and females can be stalked but the highest percentage tends to be females (1 in 14 women) vs (1 in 50 men). Most stalking happens because of the power and control the stalker seeks. The rejection is far beyond what they can handle. And things get worse when you are dealing with a sociopath, narcissist, or dependent personality.
In this video, I will introduce 5 different types of stalkers which were identified and explained by Mullen et al. and his colleagues. They created an easy to understand classification system to identify stalkers, risks, and possible responses.
