This book tells the story of how mental health stigma comes to have a profound impact on the lives of people diagnosed with mental illnesses. It goes beyond previous volumes by explaining how community attitudes and behaviors come to impact diagnosed individuals' self-images and their subsequent participation in community life.
Written-Off tells the story of how mental health stigma comes to have a profound impact on the lives of people diagnosed with mental illnesses. It reviews theory, research, and history - illustrated with a multitude of personal stories - in four major areas. These areas are: the prevalence and predictors of negative attitudes and behaviors toward mental illness, the impact of community attitudes and behaviors on the self-perceptions of people diagnosed with mental illness, the impact of self-perceptions on the community participation of people diagnosed with mental illness, and how to change self-perceptions through a variety of approaches.
