Extract of book MOBBING, MANUAL DE AUTOAYUDA. Iñaki Piñuel. Ed. Aguilar.2003.

One of the disadvantages more serious than suffers the people by mobbing is the long period who can be suffering without realizing. When we do not know what they are doing to us little we can do. We let pass the time hoping... and holding. The sequels that leave are imborrables. They are affected, in addition to the work, the relations of pair and relatives without leaving of side the friendships. There is some experimental study that affirms that the sequels get to damage some parts of the brain and that they are irreversible. They can appear to the twenty years of the harassment. Therefore, we are not speaking of a disease of difficult diagnosis and that hardly it is possible to be catalogued of "labor risk" but that "attacks" damaging the organism. This can be considered disease labor. Which is the profile of the harassed person? The investigations in this field have come indicating the existence from two types of workers who behave of different way and that they react of different way according to the outer stimuli. There is a type of worker who is continuous and fighting against if perpetually same and the others obtaining a series of prestige in the smaller possible time. Its behavior is openly competitive, making difficult the cooperation between tasks. Another type of worker does not represent this urgency to compete constantly. They are able to enjoy its work and to make it without feeling like "owners" of the project. They are cooperative and they easily collaborate with other workers contributing its knowledge. The workers of the first group are seen like adversaries and not like collaborator. The successes are, necessarily, only of them. It is no wonder it forces to the rest of companions to obtain "his objectives". In this atmosphere he is not strange to find behaviors of psychological violence and harassment. Which is the reason because a person or people takes it with me? We found frequently that mobbing is used like a smoke screen on the professional inadecuación of the pursuer. Professor Leymann (first in studying this human behavior when the newspaper arrived to him from a person who committed suicide) indicated that they are the fear and the insecurity that the pursuers towards their professional races, the reputation experience, the position or estatu quo in the organization the one that brings them to denigrate and to harass other people. This fear and insecurity come determined by their own unconsciousness from mediocrity of the pursuers put in evidence, quite often of unconscious way, by the professional, ethical and respectful conduct of the person who later is selected like objective. In other occasions, the fear of the pursuer comes from the threat that supposes for him the knowledge, on the part of the victim, of irregular situations, illegal or of fraud. Acosadore usually is heads, in spite of also can be given between companions. The performance of the pursuers in group is frequent. There is another form of psychological harassment default or passive way. The material use of or equipment, prohibition, or blocking in the access to data or necessary information for the worker, diminution or elimination of the formation, negation of the communication with him occur in form of restrictions in, etc. This type of violence has the characteristic with respect to other violences, that does not leave to sign nor external signals, to not being those of the progressive deterioration of the victim that are attributed maliciously to other causes, like personality or relation problems, difficult character, professional incompetencia, etc.
More frequent reasons by those than create were object of harassment.
1. - To have resisted to being manipulated by the pursuer.
2. - Not to have fallen in the servility or submission.
3. - To have waked up the jealousy of the pursuer.
4. - To have provoked envies: affection, gift of people, positive attitude, esteem and recognition on the part of the others.
5. - To air maintained hidden or prohibited subjects.
6. - To have been victim of the cruel personality of the pursuer.
7. - To have waked up jealousy due to happy a personal or familiar situation.
