"In this book, Stephen P. Hinshaw examines the long-standing tendency to stigmatize those with mental illness. He also provides practical, multilevel strategies for overcoming this serious problem, including enlightened social policies that encourage contact with those afflicted, media coverage emphasizing their underlying humanity, family education, and responsive treatment."--Jacket.

The stigma associated with mental disorders can erode personal well-being, family relations and economic productivity of sufferers. This text examines the psychological and solid roots of such stigma and ways to overcome it.
