Discuss the stigma of mental illness, the problems with labeling or diagnosis, and lessons learned from research such as the Rosenhan study
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: A stigma is a set of negative attitudes about a person that set the person apart as unacceptable. Negative attitudes come from many sources and have multiple negative consequences. People may internalize rejection, setting up a self-fulfilling prophecy. Use the Rosenhan study as an example of expectation from the clinician's point of view.
