Bilheran, A. 2019. "Chef d'oeuvre de la paranoïa, le harcèlement", in Santé Mentale, N°243.
Not only is bullying the masterpiece of the paranoiac, but the delusional contagion acting under its impulse degrades the mental health of all members of the bullying group.
Harassment is a political phenomenon linked to the history of humanity. It "aims at the progressive destruction of an individual or group by another individual or group, by means of repeated pressures intended to forcefully obtain from the individual something against his will and, in doing so, to arouse and maintain in the individual a state of terror." (Bilheran, 2006).
A mode of expression of the abuse of power, authoritarianism, tyranny, it opposes authority as unjust power opposes just power. It is the perfect method of enslavement used by the paranoiacs of whom I often say that it is the "masterpiece".
How do paranoia and harassment relate to each other? To answer this question, I will first recall what harassment is, its precise definition and the conditions necessary for its implementation. Then I will demonstrate how the paranoiac profile is by nature harassing, before studying its role in the pathological scene deployed by the harassing collective.
