Descripción
Sumario:Despite well-meaning efforts to redress the prejudice and discrimination faced by people with mental illness, a pervasive stigma remains. The Stigma Effect examines mental health campaigns by government agencies, mental health care providers, and social service agencies that work with people with mental illness and proposes new policies in their place. Patrick W. Corrigan argues that effective strategies require leadership by those with lived experience, as their recovery stories replace ideas of incompetence and dangerousness with ones of hope and empowerment. He challenges readers to carefully examine anti-stigma programs and reckon with their true effects.
