Offering practical stigma and discrimination reduction programs in
a range of domains including mental health, disability, ethnicity,
and sexuality, this book is the answer to "What can we do?" to
improve interpersonal relationships by reducing societal stigma
towards social groups that are prime targets of prejudice. In this
volume, researchers from four continents share
empirically-supported stigma reduction programs that capitalize on
creativity and psychological science. The programs capture a range
of populations including high school and college students,
healthcare providers, war survivors, sexual assault survivors,
business professionals, and community members. With a focus on
controversial topics in society today including racism, sexism,
ageism, ableism, and classism as well as stigma of mental health
and body image, innovative and unexpected methods of interventions
are brought to life in the collected chapters from world-leading
experts. The applications of theater, game playing, text messaging,
and social media, as well as new formulations of educational
workshops and communication strategies, shed new perspectives on
how all of us can use accessible tools to make positive and
productive changes on societal attitudes. This is an essential
reading for professionals, academics, and students of psychology,
business, HR, mental health, counseling, and social work,
especially those interested in stigma reduction.
