Psychology is my foremost and driving interest and thankfully my occupation. Therefore, Psychology in all aspects of human life is of interests to me and I am continually attempting to learn more about it. In keeping with this study I wish to develop a scientific approach to the matter of ?Mobbing? which is a long neglected aspect in this subject.Since a well-informed debate, along with the exchange of opinions is crucial to the development of each one of us, I wish to share my psychology of life as well as my interests in this contemporary forum. Within the framework of psychology I am focusing on the matter of ?Stress in The Work Place?. The objective is to research methods and techniques which will prevent stress at work. If stress is already existent we need to know how to reduce or eliminate stress generating factors. Therefore I am pursuing the matter of ?Mobbing? in the work place. My understanding of the term ?Mobbing? is that it has always been present in the workplace, but in research it has been quite an undiscovered area. It was first studied and then described by Carol M. Brodsky in her book titled ?The Harassed Worker?, and also by Heinz Leymann in his book ?Mobbing and Victimization at Work? and which I have explained under Section ?Mobbing?. octor of Psychology at the University of Rzeszów and a lecturer at the Medical Faculty of the University.
