Stealth shunning is a [[practice]] where a [[person]] or an [[action]] is silently banned. When a person is silently banned, the group they have been banned from doesn't [[interact]] with them. This can be done by [[secretly]] announcing the [[policy]] to all except the banned [[individual]], or it can happen informally when all people in a group or email list each [[conclude]] that they do not want to [[interact]] with the person. When an [[action]] is silently banned, requests for that action are either [[ignored]] or turned down with faked [[explanations]]

Shunning contains aspects of what is known as relational [[aggression]] in [[psychological]] literature. When used by [[church]] members and member-spouse parents against [[excommunicant]] [[parents]] it contains elements of what psychologists call parental [[alienation]]. [[Extreme]] shunning may cause [[traumas]] to the shunned (and to their dependents) similar to what is studied in the psychology of [[torture]].
