“…According to several studies, most stalkers do not display symptoms of severe psychological disorder, like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or major depression (Kienlen et al, 1997;McGuire & Wraith, 2000;Mullen et al, 1999). Instead, stalkers are more likely to show signs of comparatively minor psychopathology, in the form of personality disorders (Kamphuis & Emmelkamp, 2000;Kienlen et al, 1997;McCann, 1998;Meloy, 1996), anger-related problems (Davis et al, 2000;Del Ben & Fremouw, 2002;Meloy, 1996), and mild to moderate depression (Kienlen et al, 1997). Though it is generally accepted that stalkers may suffer from various minor psychiatric conditions, and less frequently from more profound disturbances, the studies that had focused specifically on the possibility of a relationship between stalking perpetration and personality disorder did not necessarily present a consensus on what types of personality disorder may be most prevalent among stalkers.…”
