Leymann's Inventory of Psychological Terror (LIPT)

Leymann's Inventory of Psychological Terror (LIPT) is a tool used to identify and measure experiences of severe psychological harassment or bullying in the workplace. It lists specific behaviors—such as repeated harmful verbal attacks, social isolation, or professional sabotage—that can cause emotional distress. By assessing whether these behaviors occur, the LIPT helps professionals understand the extent and impact of psychological abuse, aiding in diagnosis, intervention, and prevention strategies to protect individuals' mental health in occupational settings.
