title: [Stalking--what does the family doctor need to know?].
abstract: Stalking is a widespread phenomenon, which for the stalked person is associated with a not inconsiderable risk of becoming the victim of an act of violence. Furthermore, stalked persons may develop significant psychological problems, and therefore often seek out a doctor as their first contact. Another reason for this is the still unsatisfactory legal situation and widespread ignorance of the stalking problem on the part of the police and the courts. In the light of the above, it is of great importance that the physician should thoroughly familiarize himself with the problems associated with stalking.
