5.0 out of 5 starsMobbing Reaction
By litlover on February 13, 2012
Format: Hardcover
This fascinating but disturbing story of mobbing is like bullying with a key difference; it occurs within the auspices of the organizational structure. The authors, Drs. Duffy and Sperry, reveal exactly how the organization becomes implicit in the "mobbing" of one of its members. It begins as an organizational issue between one or more individuals with one of the individuals ending up as the target/victim. The mobber gains steam and recruits others in the organization to wage an insidious attack against an individual. Its trajectory becomes like a snowball that gains speed and size as it races downhill. The individual being mobbed becomes aware of the attack and suffers within the organizational infrastructure. To make matters worse, the person being mobbed is often highly intelligent, creative, skilled and makes an excellent contribution to the organization.
This alarming but common social process wreaks havoc on the individual's role in the organization. Their organizational identity, personal health, work, family, and relationships are negatively impacted. Drs. Duffy and Sperry give vivid examples of organizations where mobbing occurs at an all too frequent rate: hospitals, schools, colleges, businesses, condo associations, etc.
Readers of this book who have worked in organizations will recognize the process of mobbing and appreciate that the mobbing of a target member could never have been successful without the organization's support. After reading this book I reflected on situations that I now know were mobbings with devastating consequences for the victims. In one, an athletic coach became the target of other coaches and staff members to the detriment of his job. He left his coaching position and moved to another state.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsMobbing: Causes, Consequences and Solutions
By Patricia Munhall on February 25, 2012
Format: Hardcover
This is an important book for understanding how workplace mobbing occurs and what happens when people get targeted for abuse at work. The authors do an outstanding job of describing in detail the traumatic effects of mobbing on targets/victims, both in the short and long terms. The book is filled with vivid illustrative case examples that show the insidiousness of the process of mobbing and the ostracism, isolation, and bewilderment of victims. Through the stories that the authors depict, you can actually feel and experience the loneliness and fear of mobbing victims. The heart of the book though is the authors' focus on the role of organizations in mobbing and how mobbing is essentially an organizational act. This book provides the opportunity for understanding the experience of mobbing at both the individual and organizational levels. If you or someone you know has or is having this unjust experience, this book is essential reading for the effective and well thought out solutions as well. If you want a healthy work environment this is MUST reading.

3.0 out of 5 starsMobbing: Causes, Consequences, and Solutions
By 1LTLos on January 15, 2014
Format: Hardcover
Please allow that I add that much of the content within is really solid and useful for persons who have experienced Workplace bullying or Mobbing. Its a good book but the position at the end I dont buy. So if you want to try th e book do so. I am one who has experienced this mobbing and it is a legal issue - not mental health matter.

Solutions? Who paid this author to come up with the doozy that workplace Mobbing is a Mental Health issue?
Clearly someone paid her to obfuscate the real issue - Mobbing like bullying, discrimination targeting and harassment be it sexual or not - is not a mental health issue -These folks know precisely what they are doing and why. This is a legal issue and all these mobsters - Presidents, CEO's VPs Deans supervisors and willing workers or faculty must go to jail for violations of Federal and no doubt State Labor Laws. Mental Health sure later when the perpetrators are behind bars where they belong - but until Mobbing is exposed fully for what it is -- Unlawful and illegal -- the lawyers will never come to our support!!! Do you see how disingenuous this bogus Mental health position is??? SOrry Ms Duffy but your position is a lie!!
