Moral harassment

In Moral Harassment , Marie-France Hirigoyen analyzes the step-by-step process of harassment in various social settings and raises a warning against any attempt to trivialize violence.

Can we destroy someone with just words and implied looks? Yes. We call this perverse violence or moral harassment. In order to analyze step by step how this insidious violence unfolds through words, gestures, actions, or omissions, Marie-France Hirigoyen warns against any attempt to trivialize violence. Moral Harassment: Perverse Violence in Everyday Life describes in detail the process that takes place and develops in the most diverse groups and settings: in couples or interpersonal relationships, the ways in which one ensnares, destabilizes the other, and assumes dominance and control; in the family, where with a "it's for your own good" message, children are annulled and stripped of everything that is most alive and vital; in companies, public or private, where so-called sexual harassment, so much in the media's spotlight today, is just one of the ways in which an employee is made a plaything of perverse mechanisms that the cynically labeled "flexibilization" of work has exacerbated and the specter of unemployment now feeds.

The work in question is of interest to those who work in the field of psychology, occupational physicians, managers at any level in companies, to professionals who work in any sector of human relations at work and in the family, to anyone who is interested in seeing the elimination of everything that currently violates and dehumanizes our society.
