Abstract
From a clinical perspective, the psychodynamics of stalking behavior vary with the motivation of the stalker. Meloy2 has highlighted that motivational emotions within the stalker such as shame, rage, envy and jealousy are often involved. One theory for many cases of stalking, especially those that stemmed following the break up of a romantic relationship, is that narcissistic fantasies seem to fuel and excuse the stalking behavior. Persons who feel rejected may choose stalking behavior as a way to remain linked to the person who rejected them. Among other motives and emotions involved in certain stalking behavior includes an intense, and at times delusionallybased, belief of romantic love between the stalker and victim.
