Description

Overcoming Mobbing: A Recovery Guide for Workplace Aggression and Bullying is a comprehensive guidebook that provides effective strategies for recovery from mobbing in the workplace. Written by leading authorities Maureen P. Duffy and Len Sperry, this book offers a detailed presentation of the causes and consequences of mobbing, helping readers avoid falling into the trap of misplacing blame. Mobbing is a destructive social process that can lead to deteriorating physical and mental health, workplace violence, and even suicide. The authors demystify the experience through the use of case vignettes, providing a clear understanding of this type of aggression. By distinguishing mobbing from bullying, the book highlights its unique characteristics within organizational or institutional settings. This guidebook brings the concept and terminology relating to mobbing into the public vocabulary, placing organizations at the center of responsibility for preventing abuse. With its strong foundation in psychological and organizational research, Overcoming Mobbing is an informative resource for victims of mobbing and their families, as well as for those seeking to prevent this type of workplace aggression.
