Abstract:
Awards and Praise for the first edition: Recipient of the 2006 International Association for Relationship Research (IARR) Book Award""This text, as it presently stands, is THE go-to text for stalking researchers. That is my opinion and the opinion of multiple fellow scholars I know in the field. It rarely sits on my shelf, but rather is a constant reference on my desk. I can always count on these authors to have done an extensive review of literature. I thought I was thorough, but they are always providing me with new references.""--Dr. H. Colleen Sinclair, Associate Professor of Psycholog
