Working with individuals who have engaged in stalking

The experience of being stalked has a devastating psychological impact on victims, so working with people who have engaged in stalking to prevent them from continuing with their debilitating behaviour is vital for the wellbeing of victims, and for the individuals who stalk.

'Working with individuals who have engaged in stalking' is written by leading experts from the BPS Division of Forensic Psychology and Division of Clinical Psychology; Dr Rachael Wheatley, Forensic Psychologist, Sara Henley, Consultant Clinical and Forensic Psychologist, and Dr Alan Underwood, Clinical Psychologist.

The guidance outlines theories of stalking, stalking typologies, assessment and formulation, risk management and practitioner safety. It draws on current evidence and best practice, and will be updated as new evidence is introduced.
