Description
Book SynopsisInstitutional Harassment: Divorce, Abuse, and the Legal System offers a psychological approach to the instances of harassment within the justice system related to cases of divorce. Miguel Clemente recognizes that this harassment often goes unaddressed and pays particular attention to the effects this has on children. The author covers several forms of harassment including intimate partner aggression, sexual abuse of children, the unscientific parental alienation syndrome, and the weaponization of the legal system from aggressors seeking revenge.
Trade ReviewInstitutional Harassment examines topics of considerable interest from a scientific and social point of view and it deals with a subject that is rarely discussed in current literature. This work collects a large number of results of current scientific research, and it does so in a very didactic way, which will be useful both for professionals and students linked to the legal field. Miguel Clemente manages to combine technical rigor with simplicity in the expression of ideas.
