Abstract
Stalking is a form of interpersonal victimization that
can have irrevocable effects on the lives of victims but is frequently misunderstood
and minimized.
This article presents a case study of a woman who was stalked in the
workplace by a 39-year-old male colleague, and offers recommendations
for occupational health clinicians charged of medical surveillance of
workers (so-called “Competent Physicians”) who have to cope with
stalking at the workplace.
The prevalence of stalking provides many opportunities for Competent
Physicians to intervene, but first they must recognize and understand
the problem.
The study underlines the inadequacy of the current legal and medical
responses to the needs of these victims.
