«El acoso moral» is the psychology essay by Marie-France Hirigoyen, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (184 pages, in Spanish).
The work analyzes perverse violence that destroys a person with words, looks or insinuations. With testimonies and clinical experience, the author explains how harassment acts in the couple, the family and the company, the depressive spiral it generates in victims and the profile of the aggressor who leaves no trace.
It belongs to the Contextos collection from Paidós and was translated into Spanish by Enrique Folch González. Its original French title is «Le harcèlement moral: la violence perverse au quotidien» (1998).
Reading for anyone who wants to understand psychological violence and detect abusive relationships, both in the personal and work spheres.
Marie-France Hirigoyen is a French psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and psychotherapist specialising in mobbing, a form of bullying. Her interest in stress led her in the mid-1980s into victimology, a branch of criminology. She later turned her attention to workplace stress generated by mobbing behaviour.
