Family Mobbing is a poorly understood, little-recognized systemic phenomenon associated with Family Scapegoating Abuse (FSA) and can have devastating effects on the child victim / adult target. In this video, Family Systems and FSA expert Rebecca C. Mandeville (author of the best-selling introductory book on FSA, 'Rejected, Shamed, and Blamed') describes Family Mobbing dynamics and shares examples of how it can manifest in dysfunctional or narcissistic families, both overtly and covertly. She also addresses the oft-asked question from FSA adult survivors, "Does my family hate me?" in a manner that acknowledges the complexity and insidious systemic nature of FSA.
Watch Dr. Sam Vaknin (narcissistic abuse expert who popularized the term) discuss Family Mobbing in his video here. He references my FSA work as related to cult systems at the 12:30 mark: https://youtu.be/6gb_dDqWLiQ
