Description
The lives of people with disease and disability are harmed 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.
The two main sections of the book comprise chapters on 10 specific illnesses
and conditions (mental illness, substance abuse, intellectual disability, physical
and sensory disabilities, HIV-AIDS, infectious disease, cancer, obesity, childhood
disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease) and chapters relating to broader issues
(stigma and family, overcoming stigma, stigma across cultures, and future directions).
The book concludes with observations on what has not worked in overcoming stigma
as well as possible future directions.
