Doctoral dissertation. Cincinnati, OH: Union Institute Graduate School.
Linda Hartling has developed the Humiliation inventory, a scale to assess the internal experience of derision and degradation, using a scale of 1 to 5 to gauge the extent to which a person feels harmed by humiliating incidents throughout her life and how much she fears "being teased, bullied, scorned, excluded, laughed at, or, harassed." This scale has been used around the world in research exploring the link between humiliation and a wide variety of social and psychological concerns, including global poverty, depression, facial disfigurement, narcissism, eating disorders, immigration, and emotional isolation. It has been translated into Italian, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, Korean, and Norwegian. It has been crucial in extending the global research on humiliation.

Linda Hartling co-edited this important book, she wrote the Foreword and the final chapter:
"Moving Beyond Humiliation: A Relational Conceptualization of Human Rights." In Human Dignity: Practices, Discourses, and Transformations: Essays on Dignity Studies in Honor of Evelin G. Lindner. Edited by Chipamong Chowdhury, Michael F. Britton, and Linda M. Hartling. Chapter 15. Lake Oswego, OR: Dignity Press, 2019.
Here is Linda's "wish list" as to "how to build connections in today's atmosphere” (April 10, 2017):
1. Change our language from a "language of individualism” (us/them, I, other) to a "language of connection and relationship," to people and the planet.
2. Encourage the attitude of a “growth” mindset, rather than a “fixed” mindset (Carol Dweck’s work fits well with RCT).
3. Move engagements from habitual debate (CNN; MSNBC) to dialogue, or even to what HumanDHS calls dignilogue (dignity + dialogue).
4. Expose the unnecessary domination of “economism” that has hijacked our thinking in the world today, blinding us to a larger, fuller, richer view of human experience. Economism makes the centrality of relationships even more invisible.
5. Cultivate 360 degrees of dignity, that is, systemic dignity. I think this is a relational necessity for dismantling the privilege and power of the dominators.
6. Adopt an attitude of “appreciative inquiry,” rather than “verdict thinking,” an enormously valuable skill for building connections in today’s atmosphere. Rather than being judgmental (mostly negative, verdict thinking), we can strengthen our ability to be judicious (wise, use wise discernment).
7. Understand how to "wage good conflict,” a concept that is vital to navigating relationships in today’s contentious atmosphere.

In Systemic Humiliation in America: Finding Dignity within Systems of Degradation, edited by Daniel Rothbart. Chapter 2, pp. 19–51. Cham, Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan, 2018. Print ISBN 978-3-319-70678-8, Online ISBN 978-3-319-70679-5. • Abstract: The United States, as in other nations, is in the midst of a social-climate crisis inflamed by a staggering economic gap between the rich and the poor, a polarized and paralyzed political system, a history of criminal injustice that has led to mass incarceration of marginalized populations, a proliferation of gun violence and rampage shootings, and much more. The contentious conditions shaping social relations in the United States are also evident in the atmosphere of heated interactions surging in the world. Social crises are complex, but we can no longer afford to overlook a phenomenon that plays a central role in fomenting and intensifying these crises, a dynamic that concurrently cripples our ability to respond to these developments. This chapter examines the plague of systemic humiliation, a rising infliction that degrades our social infrastructure and disrupts our immediate and long-term communal cohesiveness. Public policies and practices contaminated by unacknowledged cycles of humiliation generate hot embers in our society, resulting in potentially explosive conditions that frequently go unrecognized until it is too late. More than ever before, the elements that constitute systemic humiliation should be recognized as fundamental mechanisms in the formation of modern society. We will describe how the meaning of humiliation has changed as our sense of human dignity has grown and explore relational ways to replace systemic humiliation with a proliferation of dignity. Cultivating systemic dignity—at home and around the globe—creates space for mutually beneficial arrangements of relationships to emerge, relationships that protect and provide for the full participation, growth, and development of all members of society. |

It will define and describe humiliation as a dynamic that intensifies crises and disasters. It offers a discussion in support of media and human rights professionals, UN and government staff, academics, policymakers and practitioners, as well as victims and ordinary citizens who experience and witness humiliation and its consequences. Finally, it will discuss specific ways to begin dismantling the dynamics of humiliation by cultivating a new social climate—a climate of relationships strengthened by equal dignity. |

Local and global crises force individuals, communities, and nations to struggle with demoralizing disconnections and deprivations. Counselors and other clinicians are the social-psychological paramedics and healers on the front lines of suffering during these turbulent times. This paper explores how the dynamics of humiliation are coming to the forefront of concern at home and around the world. It will offer an analysis that places humiliation within a relational framework, identifying three categories of humiliation: (1) internal experience, (2) external interactions, and (3) systemic social conditions. It will examine the impact of humiliation using a case example that illustrates how counselors can lead clients out of destructive reactions into creative action. |

In these brief video presentations, Linda Hartling shares her adaptation of the appreciative inquiry (sic) approach as it was originally developed by David Cooperrider at Case Western Reserve University. She writes August 2004 (see more on the Appreciative Enquiry or "Waging good Conflict" page on this website): "For me our approach means daring to "move toward mutuality" in all of our efforts. I conceptualize "movement toward mutuality" as an powerful act of resistance to organizational practices that implicitly or explicitly propagate exploitation. In "Relational-Cultural-Organizational Theory" (my variation on RCT), exploitation might be called "relational-organizational malpractice" (a variation of Joyce Fletcher's term). Far too many for-profit and nonprofit organizations depend on countless forms of relational-organizational malpractice, including shameless exploitation. Whether this occurs in an organization that is working for good or not, it is still malpractice." • 04 Human Dignity, Human Rights, and Sustainable Post-Disaster Reconstruction: An Introduction by Linda Hartling and Evelin Lindner "Human Dignity, Human Rights, and Sustainable Post-Disaster Reconstruction: An Introduction by Linda Hartling and Evelin Lindner" is a video clip that was recorded on October 30, 2011, in Portland, Oregon, USA, by Linda Hartling and Evelin Lindner, for a course with the same title for Professor Adenrele Awotona's Center for Rebuilding Sustainable Communities after Disasters at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, as well as for the World Dignity University (WDU) initiative. Course Description: Understanding the intersecting dynamics of human dignity, humiliation, and human rights in today’s world is crucial for those working in post-disaster reconstruction. Greater awareness of human rights ideals brings to the forefront the risk that post-disaster strategies and responses, once accepted and considered helpful, are perceived as deeply humiliating. This course will explore how globalization dramatically alters how we engage in helping relationships at all levels. It proposes that post-disaster reconstruction can be an opportunity to implement innovative and sustainable solutions that support the healing, health, and dignity of all involved in post-disaster recovery. • 05 Human Dignity, Human Rights, and Sustainable Post-Disaster Reconstruction: Evelin Lindner's Contribution "Human Dignity, Human Rights, and Sustainable Post-Disaster Reconstruction: Evelin Lindner's Contribution " is a video clip that was recorded on October 30, 2011, in Portland, Oregon, USA, by Linda Hartling and Evelin Lindner, for a course with the same title for Professor Adenrele Awotona's Center for Rebuilding Sustainable Communities after Disasters at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, as well as for the World Dignity University (WDU) initiative.
