Reducing the Stigma of Mental Illness: A Report from a Global Association Book

In 1996, a unique international programme was undertaken to fight the stigma and discrimination because of schizophrenia. This book tells the story and results of nearly a decade of work in 20 countries to fight the debilitating stigma of mental illness. From changing the word for 'schizophrenia' in Japan to instituting the first non-governmental organization dedicated to the stigma associated with mental illness in Turkey, the book describes real results that are being achieved by the global programme of the World Psychiatric Association.Read More

  • Product Description

    The stigma attached to mental illness is the main obstacle to better mental health care and a better quality of life for patients, their families and the community as a whole. In 1996, the WPA began an international programme to fight the stigma and discrimination because of schizophrenia. The 'Open the Doors' program has since been implemented in more than 20 countries and involved roughly 200 different anti-stigma interventions. This book details the results of these efforts internationally and provides recommendations and guidance for those seeking to join this international effort or start similar efforts to dispel stigma and discrimination.
