Mental illness deprives many people of opportunities to live full and independent lives within the realms of work, relationships, housing and health care. The stigma attached to mental illness within society often compounds this problem, impeding prospects still further. Therefore, just as researchers have developed practices for dealing with the clinical problems of mental illness, they also need to develop processes for dealing with the harmful effects of stigma. Challenging the Stigma of Mental Illness provides practical strategies for addressing the two major forms of stigma: public stigma, which is prejudice and discrimination endorsed by the general population; and self-stigma, the loss of self-esteem and efficacy that occurs when an individual internalizes prejudice and discrimination. Written by highly respected and experienced experts in the field of stigma research, this book provides a guide to all stakeholders who work to challenge discrimination and its impact. Practical worksheets and interventions guidelines are included to assist readers in facilitating the implementation of effective anti-stigma strategies within a community.

"This is a book that would be ideal for an undergraduate health professional program, and could provide a valuable basis for coursework, such as developing an anti-stigma intervention, or simply a class discussion about the reality of stigma." (Metapsychology Online Reviews, 29 November 2011)
"In this unique text aimed at therapists, those in helping professions, patients, and families in the US and Europe, Corrigan (psychology, Illinois Institute of Technology) et al. outline practical strategies for addressing the major forms of stigma of mental illness: public stigma, prejudice and discrimination endorsed by general society; self-stigma, the loss of self-esteem and efficacy that occurs when a person internalizes prejudice and discrimination; and structural stigmas, the social forces shaped by public stigma . . . some sections of the book were taken from Corrigan and Robert Lundin's Don't Call Me Nuts! Coping with the Stigma of Mental Illness (2001), and this volume updates many of its ideas with recent research." (Booknews, 1 June 2011)
"This is a book for everyone - for our patients, healthcare professionals and the general public. The issues surrounding stigma are raised without underestimating complexity, while still making the concepts understandable. Challenging the Stigma of Mental Illness explores the promising pathways, as well as those that will have unintended consequences. It ends, as all books on this subject should, with a rallying call for parity for those with mental illness.
--Til Wykes, Professor of Clinical Psychology and Rehabilitation, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London
"Stigma as social injustice is a powerful message that permeates this book. It reminds us that people with a mental illness are, first and foremost, people with a mental illness. It challenges us to find ways to ensure that they realize the same rights and entitlements that the rest of us take for granted. It compels us to actively seek avenues of redress through multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral activities that combine best practices in research with best practices in social advocacy and social change. This is a must-read for professionals and practitioners alike.
--Professor Heather Stuart, Department of Psychiatry, Queen's University, Canada
"This book starts with a personal approach to stigma - especially its horrendous consequences for individuals and families - and ends with the important pronouncement that stigma is an example of social injustice Along the way, it provides conceptually driven yet highly practical and useable strategies for combating stigma at multiple levels. An invaluable resource for anyone interested in countering the huge issue of mental illness stigma; bravo!"
--Stephen Hinshaw, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, University of California
"Drawing on both the latest research and personal experience, this book is an easy-to-read, practical and, at times, inspiring guide on how to reduce the stigma of mental illness in all its forms."
--Professor Anthony Jorm, Orygen Youth Health Research Centre, University of Melbourne.
"In Challenging the Stigma of Mental Illness, the authors offer an invaluable resource - based upon the direct experiences of people with mental heath problems - on what practical measures can minimise stigma and which, if pursued with real commitment, may one day see such stigma become an issue of merely historical interest."
