Challenging the Stigma of Mental Illness Quotes Showing 1-3 of 3
“Self-stigma refers to the state in which a person with mental illness has come to internalize the negative attitudes about mental illness and turns them against him- or herself.”
Patrick W. Corrigan, Challenging the Stigma of Mental Illness: Lessons for Therapists and Advocates
“self-stigma is not a person's fault; nor is it a part of the person's illness!
If the public did not hold negative and stigmatizing attitudes in the first place, these would never have become internalized, causing people the painful and disabling experience of self-stigma.”
Patrick W. Corrigan, Challenging the Stigma of Mental Illness: Lessons for Therapists and Advocates
