Abstract
Mental health professionals are at heightened risk of stalking victimization, however minimal research has examined empirically supported risk factors for stalking and the efficacy of risk management strategies. 346 counselors were surveyed, 7% had been stalked by clients. Results describe the nature of the stalking perpetrated and the efficacy of management strategies employed. Stalking behaviors tended to be of lower severity, perpetrator risk factors, particularly those related to relationships, anger and obsession were common. Victim vulnerabilities were identified, where many victims engaged in behavior considered ineffective in response to stalking. Victims often encountered problems coping with victimization due to inadequate access to resources. Results indicate that risk management plans must be bespoke and highlight ways that mental health professionals can be protected from stalking.
