Resume: L’archétype du « fou » représente le paradigme du processus de stigmatisation et l’histoire de la folie apparaît comme une tentative de la faire disparaître en la médicalisant au profit de la notion de « maladie mentale ». Les résultats de l’enquête internationale SMPG nous montrent l’échec de la médicalisation de la folie à réduire la stigmatisation. Cette enquête décrit les représentations sociales associées aux archétypes du « fou », du « malade mental » et du « dépressif ». Réalisée en France (67 sites d’enquête) et dans 17 pays (20 sites internationaux), elle décrit les variants et invariants de ces trois archétypes. Elle décrit les facteurs d’une stigmatisation importante pour le groupe « fou / malade mental » : non responsabilité, non contrôlabilité, médicalisation, mauvais pronostic et dangerosité. Quel que soit le pays, le noyau dur des représentations associant folie et danger est enraciné dans l’imaginaire collectif et le « malade mental » porte les attributs d’un « fou » médicalisé. A l’inverse, l’étiquette « dé- pressif » semble plus acceptable et moins exposée à la stigmatisation. Très peu de personnes se reconnaissent dans la représentation collective du « fou » ou du “malade mental”, même celles qui ont des troubles mentaux diagnostiqués. Dès lors, comment sortir de la dichotomie folie/raison, eux/nous à la base du processus de stigmatisation, si pour tout le monde, et même les personnes qui ont des troubles, le fou c’est l’autre? Ce sera peut-être le rôle des patients eux-mêmes de lutter contre la stigmatisation et l’auto stigmatisation dans les années à venir. From the self-stigmatization to the origins of the stigmatization process. With regard to the survey «Mental health in the general population: images and realities» in France and 17 countries Abstract: The archetype of the ‘mad’ represents the paradigm of the stigmatization process and the history of madness appear as an attempt to make it disappear by their medicalization for the benefit of the concept of ‘mental illness ‘. The SMPG international survey results show the failure of the medicalization of madness to reduce stigma. This investigation describes the social representations associated to the archetypes of the ‘mad’, the “mentally ill” and the “depressed”. Made in France (67 sites) and in 17 countries (20 international sites), she describes the variants and invariants of these three archetypes. It describes the factors of significant stigmatization for the group ‘ mad / mentally ill ‘: non-responsibility, non-controllability, medicalization, poor prognosis and dangerousness. Regardless of the country, the hard core of representations combining madness and danger is rooted in the collective imagination and the “mentally ill” bears the attributes of a ‘mad’ medicalized. Conversely, the “depressive” label seems more acceptable and less exposed to stigma. Very few people recognize themselves in the collective representation of the ‘mad’ or the ‘mentally ill’, even those who have diagnosed mental disorders. Therefore, how to exit to the dichotomies madness/reason, us /them that are at the base of the process of stigmatization, if for all the people, and even people who have mental disorders, mad it is the other? This may be the role of the patients themselves to combat the stigma and self-stigma in the years to come.

There are growing concerns about the impact of public safety work on the mental health of public safety personnel; as such, we explored systemic and individual factors that might dissuade public safety personnel from seeking care. Public safety personnel barriers to care-seeking include the stigma associated with mental disorders and frequent reports of insufficient access to care. To better understand barriers to care-seeking, we thematically analyzed the optional open-ended final comments provided by over 828 Canadian public safety personnel as part of a larger online survey designed to assess the prevalence of mental disorders among public safety personnel. Our results indicated that systematic processes may have (1) shaped public safety personnel decisions for care-seeking, (2) influenced how care-seekers were viewed by their colleagues, and (3) encouraged under-awareness of personal mental health needs. We described how public safety personnel who do seek care may be viewed by others; in particular, we identified widespread participant suspicion that coworkers who took the time to address their mental health needs were “abusing the system.” We explored what constitutes “abusing the system” and how organizational structures—systematic processes within different public safety organizations—might facilitate such notions of abuse. We found that understaffing may increase scrutiny of injured public safety personnel by those left to manage the additional burden; in addition, cynicism and unacknowledged structural stigma may emerge, preventing the other public safety personnel from identifying their mental health needs and seeking help. Finally, we discuss how system-level stigma can be potentiated by fiscal constraints when public safety personnel take any leave of absence, inadvertently contributing to an organizational culture wherein help-seeking for employment-related mental health concerns becomes unacceptable. Implications for public safety personnel training and future research needs are discussed.

By the 1990s, sociology faced a frustrating paradox. Classic work on mental illness stigma and labeling theory reinforced that the “mark” of mental illness created prejudice and discrimination for individuals and family members. Yet that foundation, coupled with deinstitutionalization of mental health care, produced contradictory responses. Claims that stigma was dissipating were made, while others argued that intervention efforts were needed to reduce stigma. While signaling the critical role of theory-based research in establishing the pervasive effects of stigma, both claims directed resources away from social science research. Yet the contemporary scientific foundation underlying both claims was weak. A reply came in a resurgence of research directed toward mental illness stigma nationally and internationally, bringing together researchers from different disciplines for the first time. I report on the general population’s attitudes, beliefs, and behavioral dispositions that targeted public stigma and implications for the next decade of research and intervention efforts.

Full textAbstract:
<p>The armed territorial conflicts, terror activities, and failing economies in several countries are breeding mental health issues. Mental illness, shrouded by stigma is the elephant in the room here which is finally acknowledged by the society and the policy makers. Both the military as well as the civilian society are affected. The rigours of military life and the daily anxiety of civilian society, both appear to be leading to mental health issues in defence personnel and the civilians. In India, with limited medical resources, the situation is even grim. In this review paper, the focus remains on the issues of mental health and mental illness, which have recently come to the fore on account of many national happenings in last few years. The paper explores the extant literature on mental illness in India and outlines the meaning of mental illness, discusses the legislations and Government’s programmes and initiatives regarding the promotion of mental health. The issue of mental health is discussed in light of rising suicide incidence in our soldiers which is a cause of concern. The paper culminates with the suggestions for further research and remedial measures.</p><p> </p><p align="right"><em> </em></p><p align="right"><em> </em></p>

IntroductionActually, in society, stigma against mental illness stills strong, making difficult to develop recovery and social integration of people suffering from mental illness, witch affects their well-being and quality of life. Studies indicates that stigma can be elicited by different social groups, which include, in addition to the general population, the relatives, the individuals with mental illness and event health professionals (Schulze, 2007).AimsCompare attitudes and stigma against mental illness from students who will work in mental health teams.MethodsData were collected using a translation of Attribution Questionnaire - AQ 27 (Corrigan, 2003), fulfil in an anonym way from 486 Portuguese students of Medicine, Psychology, Occupational Therapy and Nursing. The sample was composed by 22% male and 78% female; mean age 20.4 years, 65% at begging of the course and 35% finishing.ResultsThe data reveal that the sample has little contact with mentally ill individuals (only 19% have relatives with mental illness). Students from Medicine and Psychology present higher values in stigma dimensions, while Occupational Therapy and Nursing show lower values. Students begging the course shows higher stigma than those finishing. Having regular contact with mentally ill individuals seems to decrease stigma attitudes.ConclusionsSome attitudes related to stigma were found, contradicting the actual knowledge about mental illness and politics of social inclusion. It seems necessary to modify theoretical topics about mental illness learned by students, and also pedagogical methods. Therefore, stigma and social exclusion will be discuss and avoid since the beginning of the courses.

Full textAbstract:
U.S. National Guard (NG) military personnel experience many barriers to care such as limited access to health-care services and geographic separation from service providers. Although stigma and barriers to mental health care have been examined in the military, little is known about how different facets of stigma and barriers to care might impact different military subgroups. In a sample of 965 NG personnel, latent class analysis was used to identify distinct subgroups of stigma and barriers to care. Four groups were identified: no stigma or barriers (31%), mild stigma and barriers (30%), high stigma and career concerns (20%), and moderate stigma and barriers (20%). Classes significantly differed with respect to several demographic characteristics, rates of mental health conditions, and rates of previous suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Results suggest that different subgroups of NG personnel vary with respect to levels of perceived stigma, barriers to care, and mental health needs.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a social contact and education intervention to improve attitudes to mental illness in first-year social work students. This was a 3-month cluster randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms: intervention (87) and control group (79). The intervention was a workshop led by an OBERTAMENT activist (a person with a mental illness trained in communication skills and empowerment by a social worker). We assessed intended future behavior toward people with mental illness, personal and perceived stigma, and mental health–related attitudes (self-reported questionnaire). The intervention improved social work students’ attitudes ( d ≈ 0.50, p < .05) and reduced personal stigma toward people with mental illness ( d = 0.35, p = .04) as well as improving their future intended behavior 2 weeks after the intervention ( d = 0.51, p = .01). The intervention impact on authoritarian attitudes toward people with schizophrenia was maintained after 3 months ( d = 0.94, p = .01). Long-term impact needs to be improved.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundLittle is known about how the views of the public are related to self-stigma among people with mental health problems. Despite increasing activity aimed at reducing mental illness stigma, there is little evidence to guide and inform specific anti-stigma campaign development and messages to be used in mass campaigns. A better understanding of the association between public knowledge, attitudes and behaviours and the internalization of stigma among people with mental health problems is needed.MethodThis study links two large, international datasets to explore the association between public stigma in 14 European countries (Eurobarometer survey) and individual reports of self-stigma, perceived discrimination and empowerment among persons with mental illness (n=1835) residing in those countries [the Global Alliance of Mental Illness Advocacy Networks (GAMIAN) study].ResultsIndividuals with mental illness living in countries with less stigmatizing attitudes, higher rates of help-seeking and treatment utilization and better perceived access to information had lower rates of self-stigma and perceived discrimination and those living in countries where the public felt more comfortable talking to people with mental illness had less self-stigma and felt more empowered.ConclusionsTargeting the general public through mass anti-stigma interventions may lead to a virtuous cycle by disrupting the negative feedback engendered by public stigma, thereby reducing self-stigma among people with mental health problems. A combined approach involving knowledge, attitudes and behaviour is needed; mass interventions that facilitate disclosure and positive social contact may be the most effective. Improving availability of information about mental health issues and facilitating access to care and help-seeking also show promise with regard to stigma.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the stigmatization of two health conditions: mental disability and physical disability in the context of China. In particular, it addresses two main themes: the processes and impacts of stigma, and the variables that moderate the association of stigma with social attributes.
The first paper applied a qualitative approach to identify the sources of burdens of raising a child with cerebral palsy in China and how stigma and “face” as a cultural factor affect children with cerebral palsy and their families. The findings showed that families with children of cerebral palsy report tremendous financial burdens, insufficient educational and medical services, as well as discrimination among family members and communities. An overwhelming majority of caregivers reported to have had the feeling of “loss of face,” while family members considered the child with cerebral palsy as “useless” and “burdensome.” Their common remarks o “send away the child to orphanage” and “give another birth to a normal child”, reinforced caregivers’ feeling of helplessness, and put many family relationships to an end.
The second and third papers on stigma and mental illness studied the underlying social determinants of public stigma and the variations in the general public’s attitudes and reactions toward people with mental illness. Using a population-based stratified sample of 3703 adults from the Stigma in Global Context-Mental Health Study, paper II investigated social attributes, stigma, and the links between them. Paper III assessed how demographics and geographical location structured public perceptions and reactions towards people with mental illness.
Findings from paper II indicated that Chinese are less willing to interact with people with depression and schizophrenia than those with a physical illness. Depressive disorders had more rejections than schizophrenia in this study. Age, education, and place of residence among respondents had significant association with public stigma. The label of “mental illness” and perception of dangerousness had significant negative association on social stigma. Findings from paper III indicated that social distance had a significant association with regional context, which suggests that public stigma exists at larger cultural levels. Our findings help inform specific factors in the pursuit of tackling structural discrimination.

This study sought to explore the perceptions of mental health care practitioners’ perceptions on mental illness within the isiXhosa cultural context. A qualitative exploratory descriptive and contextual design was used for the study. A non-probability purposive sampling method was used to select eight participants from Komani Hospital in Queenstown. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews. The services of an Independent Interviewer were used to avoid any bias as interviews took place where the researcher is employed. All interviews were transcribed verbatim and the data collected was analyzed according to Tesch’s eight steps of data analysis as described in Cresswell (1994:155). The researcher utilized services of an Independent Coder who verified the identified major themes. Four major themes emerged from the analysis of the interview: Mental health care practitioner’s perceptions of mental illness, perception of the causes of mental illness within the isiXhosa cultural context, mental health care practitioners’ views in the management and treatment of mental illness and suggestions put forward to improve the services to mental health care users. The major findings of this study were the lack of knowledge of culture of mental health care users. It is recommended that it would be proper if there could be co-operation between mental health care practitioners and traditional healers by working together as a team.

Full textAbstract:
Although 1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness at some point, each year people with mental illnesses continue to face high levels of stigmatization and discrimination at work. Recognizing this, many organizational researchers and practitioners have sought to improve workplaces for employees with mental illness through a variety of organizational interventions. Unfortunately, few interventions are thoroughly evaluated. One barrier to evaluating such interventions is the lack of a theoretically meaningful measure of workplace mental illness stigma. In this dissertation, I proposed to develop and evaluate such a measure (the W-MISS) based on Jones, Farina, Hastorf, Markus, Miller, and Scott's (1984) six-dimension stigma framework (i.e., concealability, course, disruptiveness, aesthetics, origin, and peril). To do so, I used Hinkin's (1998) approach: Phase 1) item generation was completed by 8 subject matter experts; Phase 2) content validity evidence was provided by 47 adults with management experience and 7 subject matter experts; Phase 3) exploratory factor analysis was conducted based on responses from 300 adults with management experience; Phase 4) confirmatory factor analysis was conducted based on responses from 200 adults with management experience; Phase 5) convergent and discriminant validity evidence was provided by 101 adults with management experience; and Phase 6) predictive validity evidence with regard to hiring discrimination was provided by 365 adults with management experience. Overall, the results supported the hypothesized factorial structure, convergent and discriminant validity, and predictive utility of the W-MISS. Findings provide empirical support for Jones et al.'s (1984) theoretical stigma framework in a workplace context for mental illness and represent the first comprehensive measure development drawing on these dimensions for any stigmatized identity in a workplace context. Further, results demonstrate the potential for scholarly and practical utility of such a measure.

Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: South African companies need to contend with numerous transformation and
development issues since the country's re-entry into the international marketplace. One
component that is receiving increasing attention is the wellbeing of employees in the drive to
remain competitive within the global economy. This study argues that mental illness is a
component of employee wellbeing that has been ignored, even though these conditions are
highly prevalent and costly to businesses. The lack of recognition, research and information
about mental illness in the workplace raises questions about the knowledge and orientation of
human resource (HR) practitioners. This study therefore aimed to investigate and describe the
mental health literacy and attitudes ofHR practitioners in South Africa.
Methodology: This study had a descriptive purpose and employed a sample survey research
design to distribute a mail questionnaire to a randomly selected sample of human resource
practitioners registered with the South African Board for Personnel Practice (SABPP). The
measuring instrument comprised mental health literacy and attitudes scales that have been
extensively researched and reported to have sound psychometric properties. Three vignettes
portraying mental disorders selected for their relevance to the business world (i.e., depression,
panic disorder and alcohol abuse) were used as aids to achieving the research aim. A standard
statistical package (SPSS 10.0) was utilised to determine descriptive and inferential statistics
with an accepted 5% level of significance.
Results: A response rate of 31% was achieved yielding an equal distribution of responses
across the study vignettes. HR practitioners who acted as respondents to this study were found
to be illiterate regarding mental illness and to hold subtle negative attitudes towards the
mentally ill. Less than 10% could recognise mental illness as opposed to the majority who
regarded the behaviour in the vignettes as normal responses. Whereas just over a third could
correctly name the diagnosis described in the vignettes, only 7% were able to identify panic
disorder. Most respondents believed that psychosocial stress factors caused mental illness,
while only 29% where of the opinion that biological factors had a role in the aetiology of mental
illness. Respondents favoured psychological and lifestyle treatment strategies and opposed
medical treatments, irrespective of the type of mental illness presented with. Although as a
group respondents showed mainly positive attitudes towards the mentally ill, evidence was
found that the commonly held myths of danger/violence and the irresponsible/ childlike nature
of the mentally ill were adhered to. Conclusions: The HR field should take cognisance of the reality of mental illness. Urgent
steps need to be taken to adequately equip HR practitioners and students with both evidencebased
knowledge and a positive orientation to enable the effective management of these
conditions in the workplace. Attention should be given to addressing common mistruths and
misconceptions, and to creating an awareness of the significant role that the HR practitioner can
play in timeously recognising and appropriately dealing with employee mental health problems
so that companies can benefit by the optimal utilisation of human resources.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond: Suid-Afrikaanse maatskappye het te doen met verskeie transformasie- en
ontwikkelings aangeleenthede sedert die land se terugkeer na die internasionale mark. Die
welstand van werkers is 'n aspek wat toenemend aandag verkry met hierdie strewe om
mededingend te bly in die globale ekonomie. Hierdie studie argumenteer dat geestessiekte as 'n
komponent van werkerwelstand geïgnoreer word, alhoewel dit algemeen voorkom en besighede
heelwat geld kos. Die beperkte herkenning, navorsing en inligting oor geestessiekte in die
werkplek lei tot vrae omtrent die kennis en inslag van Menslike Hulpbron- (MR) praktisyns.
Derhalwe, ondersoek en beskryf hierdie studie die kennis en houding jeens geestesgesondheid
van MH-praktisyns in Suid-Afrika.
Metodologie: Hierdie studie se doel is beskrywend van aard en maak gebruik van 'n steekproef
opname navorsingsontwerp. 'n Vraelys is gepos aan 'n ewekansig gesellekteerde steekproef
van MH-praktisyns wat geregistreer is by die Suid-Afrikaanse Raad vir Personeelpraktyk. Die
meetinstrument bestaan uit geestesgesondheid kennis- en houdingskale wat ekstensief nagevors
is en wat beskryf is om goeie psigometriese eienskappe te besit. Drie gevaUestudies van
geestessteurings relevant tot die besigheidswêreld (depressie, panieksteuring en
alkoholmisbruik) is gebruik as hulpmiddels om die navorsingsdoeiwit te bereik. Standaard
statistiese sagteware (SPSS 10.0) is gebruik om beskrywende en afleidende statistiek te bepaal
met 'n aangenome 5% vlak van betekenisvolheid.
Bevindings: Altesaam 31% van vraelyste is beantwoord en dit was eweredig verdeel tussen die
verskillende gevallestudies. MH-praktisyns wat deelgeneem het aan hierdie studie het swak
kennis omtrent geestessiekte en subtiele negatiewe houdings ten opsigte van persone met
geestesiekte getoon. Minder as 10% kon geestessiekte identifiseer teenoor die meerderheid wat
die gedrag in die gevallestudies as normaal beskou het. Net oor 'n derde kon die diagnose
korrek benoem en slegs 7% kon panieksteuring korrek identifiseer. Meeste van die respondente
het geglo dat psigososiale stresfaktore geestessiekte veroorsaak, terwyl net 29% van mening
was dat biologiese faktore 'n rol speel in die etiologie van geestessiekte. Respondente het
psigologiese en lewensstyl behandelingsmodaliteite verkies bo mediese behandeling en dit was
onafhanklik van die tipe geestessteuring wat voorgekom het. Alhoewel die respondente as 'n
groep hoofsaaklik 'n positiewe houding getoon het ten opsigte van persone met geestessiekte,
was daar bewyse dat algemene mites ondersteun is en dat persone met geestessiekte beskou is as
gevaarlik/aggressief en as onverantwoordeliklkinderlik. Gevolgtrekkings: Die MH veld moet die realiteit van geestessiekte aanvaar. Dringende stappe
moet geneem word om MH-praktisyns en studente te voorsien van uitkomsgebaseerde kennis en
'n positiewe houding sodat effektiewe hantering van hierdie toestande kan plaasvind in die
werkplek. Algemene onwaarhede en miskonsepsies moet aangespreek word en die bewustheid
van die betekenisvolle rol van die MH-praktisyn moet benadruk word.
Geestesgesondheidsprobleme van die werker moet betyds herken word en toepaslik gehanteer
word sodat maatskappye voordeel kan trek uit die optimale gebruik van menslike hulpbronne.

Full textAbstract:
First responders, including Emergency Medical Services personnel and firefighters, support community members in times of crisis. When responding to emergencies, first responders often experience both direct and vicarious trauma. Over time, the pace and intensity of a career as a first responder leads to poor health habits and high risk for mental health issues including posttraumatic stress disorder. Due to concern about peer perception and mental health stigma, these professionals are less likely to seek mental health supports to manage and process trauma. This chapter explores Narrative Therapy as an ideal option for mental health treatment of first responder trauma, providing a collaborative approach to therapy using the natural coping strategy of storytelling.

Full textAbstract:
HIV is known as a ‘social disease’, as its transmission is attributable to risk behaviours which are influenced by cultural and psychosocial environments. It is important to consider the HIV syndemic, defined here as the co-occurrence of HIV and other illness/health conditions (e.g. mental health problems, substance use). Mental health problems are prevalent both among key populations for HIV prevention and people living with HIV (PLWH), and can influence HIV-related risk behaviours, interact synergistically, and compromise the effectiveness of HIV prevention, treatment, and care. Structural, interpersonal, and individual factors associated with mental health problems among PLWH, and the impact of such problems on HIV prevention, are discussed. Promising approaches, such as positive psychology interventions, are explored. Finally, gaps in current mental health interventions, services, and personnel are highlighted, to suggest areas for improvement. Mental health improvement in affected populations is a prerequisite of controlling the global HIV epidemic.

Full textAbstract:
At the “age of the brain,” one would expect the public to view psychiatric disorders as “diseases like all others.” But mental illness still carries a significant social stigma that deprives them of employment, housing, and social opportunities. Invoking the brain as the source of disease helps reduce stigma, but it elicits curious fatalistic reactions. People believe that if the disease is “in the brain,” then it is more severe, incurable, and resistant to psychotherapy. And it is not only the general public that is taken by such misconceptions. Patients believe the same, and so do even trained clinicians. Why do psychiatric disorders elicit such persistent misconceptions? No one would shun a cancer patient because she has a tumor in her breast. Why shun the sufferer of a disorder that ravages the brain? And why believe brain diseases are incurable? This chapter traces the misconceptions of brain disorders to the core knowledge of Dualism and Essentialism. Dualism prompts us to presume that the mind and matter don’t mix and match; if the disease is “in your brain matter,” then, in our intuitive psychology, ephemeral “talk therapy” won’t do. Essentialism further compels us to believe that what’s “in” our material body is innate, hence, immutable, so biology is truly destiny. Thus, the same core knowledge principles that plague our self-understanding in health also derail our reasoning about psychiatric disease.

Full textAbstract:
Muslim American students deal with many challenges, including bullying and discrimination in schools due to their religious identity, resulting in adverse psychosocial outcomes. From a social justice advocacy stance, school counselors can play a vital role in empowering this student population. It is also school counselors' ethical responsibility to develop multicultural competency and promote diversity by gaining knowledge and skills regarding cultural elements. Therefore, this chapter endeavors to give voice to Muslim American students and serve as a resource for school counselors and educators to work with Muslim youth in PK-12 schools effectively. More specifically, this chapter provides an overview of the Muslim population, identifies critical tenets of Islam, explores significant challenges Muslim students experience in schools along with detrimental effects of discrimination on their psychosocial health and suggests practical recommendations for school personnel including school counselors to facilitate positive social interactions and healthy development of Muslim youth.

Full textAbstract:
Psychological issues are commonly encountered within sexual health. They may be as a result of embarrassment or anxiety regarding the consultation/examination/procedure or due to being given a diagnosis, suffering a chronic or recurrent problem, or concern about a possible diagnosis. Mental illness can contribute to sexual dysfunction and vice versa. This chapter discusses psychosexual problems and sexual dysfunction in men and women, and how best to manage them. People living with HIV have a high prevalence of mental illness and people with mental illness are at increased risk of HIV acquisition. Stigma and isolation are commonly experienced amongst people with HIV and a multidisciplinary approach with psychology, social work, peer support is important for providing holistic care.

Full textAbstract:
When a health care professional becomes engaged in diagnosing and treating or supporting a person with intellectual disability, the complexities of the disorder become apparent. To provide the best care and the best support, knowledge about neurogenetic syndromes, management of biomedical and behavior features, psychosocial interventions, and the natural history of the disorder are critical. Background knowledge and sensitivity to the needs and life challenges of the affected person are especially important. With new knowledge in genetics, the neurosciences, and social sciences, and the utilization of the richness of family, school, and community resources for these individuals as they develop, the historical stigma of the diagnosis can be reduced and hopefully eliminated. Professionals, families, and community support personnel must join forces so that all available resources are fully utilized, thus allowing the person with intellectual disability to be appropriately treated for his condition and to begin to make choices and become a self-advocate to the extent possible. This chapter will review changing concepts of intellectual disability over the centuries to provide a context for current diagnostic and treatment approaches. An awareness of this history provides perspective on the centuries-long struggle to recognize the needs of and to provide support to persons with intellectual disability. Legal safeguards are now in effect and are continuing to emerge as services are established that use a developmental model and emphasize a developmental perspective. This model emphasizes how comprehensive evaluation and positive supports at home and in the community can make a difference in the lives of persons with disabilities. The starting point is a definition of the term “intellectual disability.” This will be followed by a brief historical survey of origins and attitudes that are changing after centuries of stigmatization and separation. National and international efforts, which began in the 1970s, are continuing to encourage community placement of and self-determination by persons with intellectual disability. Although “mental retardation” is the term used in both the International Classification of Diseases (lCD-10) (World Health Organization, 1992) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV, DSM-IVTR) (American Psychiatric Association, 1994, 2000) systems that describe an intellectual and adaptive cognitive disability that begins in early life during the developmental period, the preferred term is “intellectual disability” internationally, especially in English-speaking countries.
