A model of coercive control in higher education: a qualitative study

A growing body of research indicates that pyschological coervice control poses a threat in academic environments. Little is known, however, about the process, the dynamics and the phases used to impose a variety of non-violent assaults on students and academics. A lack of awareness of coercive intimidation and pyschological coercive control obstructs a student's path to academic achievement, which can have an impact on his or her emotional and mental well-being and dimishes the prosperity of society.
