Reference excerpt

Marie-France Hirigoyen (born 1949) is a French psychiatrist, psychoanalyst and psychotherapist specialising in mobbing, a form of bullying. Her interest in stress led her in the mid-1980s into victimology, a branch of criminology. She later turned her attention to workplace stress generated by mobbing behaviour. Her publications include Le harcèlement moral, la violence perverse au quotidien (1998), which sold 450,000 copies in her native France and was translated and sold in 24 other countries. She has made several television appearances in France, and in 2006 she was invited onto the Spanish Television programme Carta blanca by guest presenter Lucía Etxebarría.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Marie-France Hirigoyen

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Marie-France Hirigoyen claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Marie-France Hirigoyen before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Marie-France Hirigoyen ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Marie-France Hirigoyen

In research: Marie-France Hirigoyen appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Marie-France Hirigoyen in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Marie-France Hirigoyen is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1949 births, 20th-century French medical doctors, 20th-century French women medical doctors, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Marie-France Hirigoyen outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
