Understanding the Stigma of Mental Illness

Autore: Julio Arboleda-flórez , Norman Sartorius

Numero di pagine: 226

Many mentally ill people are the victims of stigma, which leads to additional suffering and humiliation. Negative stereotypes and prejudicial attitudes against them are often reinforced by their media representation as unpredictable, violent and dangerous. Hence the importance of the study of stigma as an explanatory construct of much that transpires in the management of the mentally ill in our societies. This book describes the experience of stigmatization at the level of the individual, and seeks to measure stigma and discrimination from the following perspectives: Self imposed stigma due to shame, guilt and low self esteem; Socially imposed stigma due to social stereotyping and prejudice; and Structurally imposed stigma, caused by policies, practices, and laws that discriminate against the mentally ill. This book briefly describes programmes that aim to reduce such stigma then looks at ways to evaluate their effectiveness. It is the first book to focus on evaluation and research methodologies in stigma and mental health. It also: presents new interventions to reduce stigma describes the various international programmes which help reduce stigma discusses the use of the internet...

Tackling HIV-Related Stigma and Discrimination in South Asia

Autore: Anne Stangl , Dara Carr , Laura Brady , Traci Eckhaus , Mariam Claeson , Laura Nyblade

Numero di pagine: 232

Although overall HIV prevalence in South Asia is low, the widespread stigma attached to HIV and AIDS impedes efforts to reach people most in need of prevention, care, and treatment services. To address this challenge, the 2008 South Asia Region Development Marketplace partnership, led by the World Bank, launched a competitive grants program to support innovative community approaches. 'Tackling HIV-Related Stigma and Discrimination in South Asia' summarizes the monitoring, evaluation, and case study data and documents successful community innovations. Twenty-six community groups in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka received funds. The initiatives involved a broad spectrum, including vulnerable groups as well as people living with HIV, the media, local government authorities, health workers, and religious leaders. The interventions used traditional cultural and media approaches to discuss taboo subjects. The reach of the initiatives was amplifi ed by involving opinion leaders. The strategies engaged marginalized groups to design and lead the interventions and to facilitate contact between groups experiencing stigma and the general public to reduce fears...

Lo stigma innocente

Autore: Andrea Fanelli

Numero di pagine: 96

Il libro ripropone dinamiche di consenso, per cui la visibilità di un individuo giudicato non annulla lo stigma, ma tende a farcelo accettare. L’innocente e conseguente evasione dalla situazione singolare in cui si incorre causa un gesto di reazione, che rimarca un attributo morale o fisico osservato. L’abitudine a ricordare l’adolescenza o il sacrificio in chiave testamentaria vuole riproporre la capacità del soggetto di maturare psicologicamente, ricreando un “mito” di ostinata e peculiare dedizione a pratiche sociali e di consumo, che tendano a valorizzare una educazione in itinere. La percezione di costrizioni e divieti nega la semplice contraddizione tra una purezza dell’anima in seno a un gruppo familiare e la solitudine agìta sul piano della riflessione e della condanna ostracizzante.

Pratiche e politiche per la salute mentale. «Insieme contro lo stigma»: esperienze e progetti a Roma

Autore: Girolamo Digilio

Numero di pagine: 260

Il volume raccoglie una serie di qualificati contributi sulle "buone pratiche" di promozione sociale delle persone con sofferenza mentale nei DSM e sullo stato di servizi per la tutela della salute mentale a Roma. I risultati ottenuti confermano la validità dei percorsi di riabilitazione e di inclusione sociale che riducono drasticamente il ricorso al ricovero e consentono il reinserimento sociale e lavorativo di gran parte delle persone correttamente prese in cura. L'insufficienza dei servizi territoriali, dovuta soprattutto a gravi carenze di personale, limita tuttavia l'intercettazione della sofferenza e l'accesso a tali percorsi favorendo l'abbandono e la cronicizzazione. Ampio spazio viene dato al punto di vista delle associazioni degli utenti dei servizi e degli organismi consultivi per la salute mentale della Città di Roma (Consulte dipartimentali, Consulta cittadina, Consulta regionale). Il quadro che ne emerge è quello paradossale ed inquietante del sistema di tuela della salute mentale a Roma e delle sue drammatiche contraddizioni: da una parte, una realtà molto avanzata che, dopo la chiusura del manicomio, ha costruito faticosamente un sistema di presa in carico e...

Stereotipo, stigma sociale e discriminazione: l'audiovisivo e il cinema

Autore: Paola Cavallo

Numero di pagine: 80

Si vuole iniziare questo excursus affrontando una problematica molto diffusa che si intreccia fortemente con le logiche discriminatorie che si tenta di avversare. La stigmatizzazione è il fenomeno sociale che attribuisce una connotazione negativa a un membro (o a un gruppo) della comunità in modo da declassarlo a un livello inferiore. Oggetto di studio della sociologia e dell'antropologia a partire dagli anni sessanta, la stigmatizzazione è uno strumento utilizzato dalla comunità per identificare i soggetti devianti.

Social Psychological Perspectives on Stigma

Autore: John B. Pryor , Arjan E. R. Bos

Numero di pagine: 163

The year 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication Erving Goffman's landmark work, Stigma: Notes on the Management of Spoiled Identity. Through this edited volume, we commemorate the continuing contribution of Goffman's work on stigma to social psychology. As Goffman originally used the term, stigma implies some sort of negative deviance, or in his words, ‘an undesired differentness from what we had anticipated.’ Since Goffman’s pioneering treatise, there have been thousands of articles published on different aspects of stigma. The accelerating volume of articles is testimony to the growing importance of stigma research, with almost three out of four of the stigma-related publications in the research literature appearing in the last 10 years. In this volume, a collection of up-and-coming and seasoned stigma researchers provide both theoretical insights and new empirical findings. The volume should be of interest to both established researchers and advanced students seeking to learn more about the depth and breadth of stigma research. This book was originally published as a special issue of Basic and Applied Social Psychology.

The Oxford Handbook of Stigma, Discrimination, and Health

Autore: Brenda Major , John F. Dovidio , Bruce G. Link

Numero di pagine: 577

Stigma leads to poorer health. Edited by Brenda Major, John F. Dovidio, and Bruce G. Link, The Oxford Handbook of Stigma, Discrimination, and Health provides compelling evidence from various disciplines in support of this thesis and explains how and why health disparities exist and persist. Stigmatization involves distinguishing people by a socially conferred "mark," seeing them as deviant, and devaluing and socially excluding them. The core insight of this book is that the social processes of stigma reliably translate into the biology of disease and death. Contributors elucidate this insight by showing exactly how stigma negatively affects health and creates health disparities through multiple mechanisms operating at different levels of influence. Understanding the causes and consequences of health disparities requires a multi-level analysis that considers structural forces, psychological processes, and biological mechanisms. This volume's unique multidisciplinary approach brings together social and health psychologists, sociologists, public health scholars, and medical ethicists to comprehensively assess stigma's impact on health. It goes beyond the common practice of studying...

Community Series In Mental-Health-Related Stigma and Discrimination: Prevention, Role, and Management Strategies, volume II

Autore: Renato De Filippis , Mohammadreza Shalbafan , Samer El Hayek

Numero di pagine: 240

This Research Topic is the second volume of the "Community Series In Mental-Health-Related Stigma and Discrimination: Prevention, Role, and Management Strategies". Please see the first volume here. Despite the tremendous progress and successes achieved in diagnostics, therapy, and rehabilitation in psychiatry over the past few decades, the stigma towards mental health patients, their relatives and caregivers, and healthcare professionals is still present. Social stigma, in particular, represents a major obstacle to maintaining adequate mental health care. This increases reluctance to seek help delays patients' diagnosis and limits their compliance and adherence to treatment. In the long term, this reduces psychiatric rehabilitation effectiveness and causes a burden to healthcare providers and society alike. The main goal of this Research Topic is to evaluate the impact and role of stigma, in all its forms, on individuals with psychiatric disorders, their caregivers, and mental health providers.
