This book was released on 2016-09-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estimates indicate that as many as 1 in 4 Americans will experience a mental health problem or will misuse alcohol or drugs in their lifetimes. These disorders are among the most highly stigmatized health conditions in the United States, and they remain barriers to full participation in society in areas as basic as education, housing, and employment. Improving the lives of people with mental health and substance abuse disorders has been a priority in the United States for more than 50 years. The Community Mental Health Act of 1963 is considered a major turning point in America's efforts to improve behavioral healthcare. It ushered in an era of optimism and hope and laid the groundwork for the consumer movement and new models of recovery. The consumer movement gave voice to people with mental and substance use disorders and brought their perspectives and experience into national discussions about mental health. However over the same 50-year period, positive change in American public attitudes and beliefs about mental and substance use disorders has lagged behind these advances. Stigma is a complex social phenomenon based on a relationship between an attribute and a stereotype that assigns undesirable labels, qualities, and behaviors to a person with that attribute. Labeled individuals are then socially devalued, which leads to inequality and discrimination. This report contributes to national efforts to understand and change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that can lead to stigma and discrimination. Changing stigma in a lasting way will require coordinated efforts, which are based on the best possible evidence, supported at the national level with multiyear funding, and planned and implemented by an effective coalition of representative stakeholders. Ending Discrimination Against People with Mental and Substance Use Disorders: The Evidence for Stigma Change explores stigma and discrimination faced by individuals with mental or substance use disorders and recommends effective strategies for reducing stigma and encouraging people to seek treatment and other supportive services. It offers a set of conclusions and recommendations about successful stigma change strategies and the research needed to inform and evaluate these efforts in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a highly innovative contribution to overcoming the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness – still the heaviest burden both for those afflicted and those caring for them. The scene is set by the presentation of different fundamental perspectives on the problem of stigma and discrimination by researchers, consumers, families, and human rights experts. Current knowledge and practice used in reducing stigma are then described, with information on the programmes adopted across the world and their utility, feasibility, and effectiveness. The core of the volume comprises descriptions of new approaches and innovative programmes specifically designed to overcome stigma and discrimination. In the closing part of the book, the editors – all respected experts in the field – summarize some of the most important evidence- and experience-based recommendations for future action to successfully rewrite the long and burdensome ‘story’ of mental illness stigma and discrimination.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Negative attitudes toward individuals with mental illness are a common phenomenon. Therefore, quantifying the attitudes of mental health care professionals in training is critical to assure that they are equitably trained to provide holistic services to individuals with mental illness. Mental health care professionals in-training (students from Social Work, Psychology, Nursing, and Counselor Education); 228 individuals participated in the research. A demographic questionnaire, level of familiarity with mental illness, Community Attitudes toward the Mentally Ill, and General Attitudes toward College Educational Accommodation scales were used to collect data. In addition, the relevant statistical analysis, specifically multiple linear regression and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, was administered. The data indicated that exposure to mental illness has a significant relationship with all dimensions (Authoritarianism, Benevolence, Social Restrictiveness, Community Mental Health ideology) of attitudes. The data also indicated a significant association between overall attitudes and attitudes toward college educational accommodation. However, demographic variables and exposure to mental illness were not found to be associated with attitudes toward college educational accommodation.

Smith and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Stigma towards adults with mental illness is both a longstanding and widespread phenomenon. Unfortunately, stigma towards adults with mental illness originates not only from the general population, but also from mental health professionals. There remain mixed ideas about the causes of stigmatization from mental health professionals and what factors might reduce this stigma. Some have suggested that increased contact and experience with adults with mental illness might help with shifting negative attitudes. Others have noted that education and training about mental illness might reduce stigma. Since early research on stigma and mental health professionals, professional counselors have emerged as a type of mental health professional often working with adults with mental illness. Researchers who have examined mental illness stigma among mental health professionals, however, have primarily studied those in medical, occupational therapy, and case management fields or have studied samples obtained outside of the United States. In addition, aspects of professionalism and professional development, such as licensure status and clinical supervision, have not previously been explored empirically. This study explored differences between mental health professionals in-training, non mental health professionals in-training, mental health professionals, and non mental health professionals. Factors such as professional orientation, licensure, supervision status, and length of time in the mental health field were examined as they related to attitudes towards mental illness. Social distance attitudes were explored in order to investigate social distance as it related to attitudes towards adults with mental illness. A total sample of 188 participants completed a demographic questionnaire, the Community Attitudes Toward the Mentally Ill, a Social Distance Scale, and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. A 2-way MANOVA revealed that mental health trainees and professionals had less stigmatizing attitudes towards adults with mental illness than non mental health trainees and professionals. Professional orientation, however, had no significant effect on attitudes. A MANOVA revealed that professionals who were receiving clinical supervision had higher mean scores on the Benevolence subscale than professionals who were not receiving clinical supervision. A Multivariate Multiple Regression revealed that receiving clinical supervision accounted for a significant portion of the variance on the Benevolence subscale. A Pearson-Product Moment Correlation revealed a significant relationship between social distance and attitudes towards adults with mental illness."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

However, there were some changes. Out of twelve social distance items there were statistically significant increases in five: the acceptance of the ex-mental patient as tenant, roommate, a person to fall in love with, a person for your children to marry, and a willingness to marry a member of a family in which there was mental illness (only the last two were of a substantial magnit ude) . overall view leads one to conclude that verba expressed a ttitudina1 social distance toward the mental pa tient. has changed somewhat in the dir ection increasing public acceptance of the mentally ill; thouqh the order of magnitude is less than what a conventional reading of the literature would suggest. ^he often found negative relationship between age and attitudinal social distance toward the ex-mental patient was at first substantiated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 as an international tool to promote awareness of stigma in mental health Understanding the Stigma of Mental Illness is essential reading for clinicians and researchers who wish to apply or develop stigma reduction programmes. It is also a valuable addition to the libraries of political analysts, policy makers, clinicians, researchers, and all those interested in how to approach and measure this distressing social phenomenon.
