Stroke ripoff is a way of getting attention from another person whether or not that person freely wants to give the attention. People who engage in stroke ripoff often experience rejection from others. Therapy involves teaching the concept of stroke ripoff, confronting the behavior and providing for emotional closure of unmet early stroking needs.
