Stigma and Discrimination in Relation to People with Mental Health Conditions and Psychiatric Institutions
摘要
The effects of stigma and discrimination against people with lived experience of mental health conditions are common and profoundly socially excluding, and so constitute unethical barriers to full social participation. This chapter will discuss the ethical dimension of stigma by defining terms, discussing the existing literature on stigma related to mental health conditions, and considering global patterns of stigma, as well as summarising the evidence on stigma reduction.
