Inhaltsangabe

People with physical or mental disabilities such as HIV, substance abuse, cancer, or depression are negatively affected not only by the disease, but also by others’ negative reactions to it. This humane book prepares advocates and health care professionals to more effectively fight the social injustice of stigma and better support the families of those with disabilities.

Readers will gain a solid understanding of the common experience of stigma as well as how to combat prejudiced responses to specific disabilities, including childhood disorders, obesity, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The lives of people with disease and disability are affected not only by their conditions but by public response to these conditions in the form of stigma and discrimination. Making sense of this injustice is the focus of this book, with chapters on 10 specific illnesses and conditions as well as on the broader issues of "courtesy" stigma, overcoming stigma, and stigma across cultures. The book concludes with observations on what has not worked in overcoming stigma as well as possible future directions.
