Download for free books Overcoming Mobbing: A Recovery Guide for Workplace Aggression and Bullying from 4shared, mediafire, hotfile, and mirror link Mobbing is a destructive social process in which individuals, groups, or organizations target a person for ridicule, humiliation, and removal from the workplace. It can lead to deteriorating physical and mental health, workplace violence, and even suicide. Studies indicate that as many as 37% of American workers have experienced workplace abuse at some time in their working lives.
Overcoming Mobbing is an informative, comprehensive guidebook written for the victims of mobbing and their families who often can't make sense of the experience or mobilize resources for recovery. In an engaging, reader-friendly style, the book distinguishes mobbing from bullying in that it takes place within organizational or institutional settings and involves organizational dynamics. Mobbing is not about the occasional negative experience at work; it is ongoing negative acts, both overt and covert, over time, that erode workers' confidence in themselves and in their workplaces and that no amount of sophistication or maturity can make sense of. Duffy and Sperry, leading authorities on this special type of aggression, provide effective strategies for recovery from mobbing as well as for prevention, and they demystify the experience through the use of case vignettes. More than a simple self-help book, this volume brings the concept and terminology relating to mobbing into the public vocabulary by virtue of its strong foundation in psychological and organizational research. It offers a detailed presentation of the causes and consequences of mobbing, helps readers avoid falling into the trap of misplacing blame, and holds organizations at the center of responsibility for preventing the abuse. In addition to those who have experienced mobbing themselves, this book is an invaluable resource for workplace managers and human resources personnel who wish to prevent or reverse mobbing within their own professional settings.

As an employment lawyer, I know that the concept of mobbing has been strangely absent from the literature of the law. That is about to change and this book, written for the broader public, is going to contribute to its recognition.By G. Ware Cornell Jr.
I have known co-author Dr.Maureen Duffy for many years. She was one of the first to recognize and document this aspect of workplace conduct. She has been passionate about the horrendous effect mobbing, as opposed to mere bullying can have on employees and organizations. When that behavior is sponsored or condoned by supervisors and/or management, that kind of behavior is well soon start to become the successful subject of employee litigation.
To my fellow members on both sides of the labor and employment bar, I urge you to read this work. It will guide you in your representation of your clients who have either been mobbed or are tolerating it. Good employment practices will eliminate these malignant conditions in time. Until then, get ready for the next wave. It is rolling in.
VINE VOICE
If I had not experienced bullying and mobbing in the workplace myself, and worked as a consultant with many others who have, I would not have been able to believe this is really happening- all over the world. Social cruelty results in a massive waste of human and financial resources. This book illustrates how this happens. The whole cast of players: perpetrators and bystanders, people in authority, allow this magnitude of destruction to an individual and their family to occur. The book validates the target's massive damages and is a must read for the various support people who the target may need to work with: doctors, lawyers, therapists, disability advisors and more. In enabling organizations, the key people in power who can actually prevent and intervene to stop the carnage, often respond with denial, indifference, and a lack of knowledge and awareness. Leaders at all levels need to read this and realize their power to prevent this waste of resources. Instead of denying and allowing mobbing, they can implement structures that support the potential for a happy, healthy, productive workplace-everyone wins with a better way.By Susan Forster
