Whilst those in healthcare might like to think that they work to
reduce stigma and social exclusion of others, this book reveals
many strategies by which healthcare professionals contribute to
increasing these conditions. Written by practitioners, some of whom
have themselves been stigmatised, the book exposes the hidden
processes of prejudice and the dogma of ideology that permeate
contemporary healthcare. Engaging with the realities of stigma
through a grassroots approach, topics covered include: * hearing *
sight * sexuality * HIV and AIDS * drug use * teenage pregnancy *
breastfeeding * old age. Stigma and Social Exclusion in Healthcare
provides practical solutions to problems, recommendations for
training and a blueprint for the future. It will prove a valuable
reference for all those wanting to deal with the issues of
stigmatisation.
