Levy, a lawyer, and Paludi, a psychologist, pool their experience and perspectives to provide a guide for managers, employees, and anyone involved in the process of setting up workplace policies and investigating complaints. They discuss what harassment is, why it occurs, ways to deal with it appropriately, and reasons that businesses need to take the issue seriously without waiting until a lawsuit forces them to address it. The latest edition contains developments that have taken place in the law and psychology of harassment since the first edition nearly a decade ago. Annotation c.
