5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Guidelines, Clear Help for Victims, August 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Stalking: A Handbook for Victims (Paperback)

I was stalked by an ex-husband....this book helped me understand I was not just "imagining things" about his behavior (the stalking behavior described in this book mirrored my stalker's behavior at about 90%). Also, the book helped me understand some very, very important ways to avoid escalating the problem. The book describes all the "ploys" stalkers use to keep interacting with their victims. They play on our guilt, sympathy, fear, anything they can get. I found the book concise and to the point, easily understood, with intelligent advice. I would recommend it for anyone who finds themselves the target of obsessive behavior.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have For Counselors Too, August 1, 2003

This review is from: Stalking: A Handbook for Victims (Paperback)

Though written for the victims of stalkers, this book is a boon for the professional counselor who wants to help those whose lives have been devastated by stalking. Emily Spence-Diehl writes extensively of the physical and emotional needs of stalking victims and, in providing guidelines for victims, also provides external, objective facts for the counselor dealing with an exhausted, confused, and traumatized victim. Most valuable are extensive checklists as well as toll-free numbers and Internet sources for assistance and further information.
