Shunning is often intended to teach obedience, discipline disobedience/nonconformance by the shunned and to punish defiance from the shunned.
Extreme shunning often causes traumas to the shunned (and to their innocent dependents) similar to what is studied in the psychology of torture.
Shunning is often particularly painful, for the shunnee, in these denominations since they are generally very close-knit, since they teach members to look down on non-members from childhood, and since the shunned person usually has no significant social links with anyone other than those in their denomination.
The shunning of an individual is the act of deliberately avoiding association with him or her.
Shunning aims to protect a group from members who have committed acts seen as harmful to the shunning organization, or who violate the group's norms.
Jehovah's Witnesses refer to the practice of shunning as "disfellowshipping." Shunning is not required in the case of disfellowshipped members of the same household, although in this case the remaining members will not usually discuss spiritual matters with the disfellowshipped one.
