Paradigms Lost, Paradigms Found

NOTE EDITORE

In 2012, Paradigms Lost critically examined the key paradigms used in programs aiming to prevent or reduce the stigma attached to mental illness. Today, many programs addressing stigma have been successfully developed or improved using the notions and recommendations presented in that volume. Paradigms Lost, Paradigms Found builds on the lessons of the first edition and adds new approaches to reducing the stigma related to mental illness. It brings together the latest theory and experience in the field to provide effective recommendations for addressing stigma in its various forms. This second edition also presents targeted programs used by different social groups and explores future directions in stigma prevention, including evolving techniques for the digital age. Integrating experience with modern technology, Paradigms Lost, Paradigms Found provides evidence and inspiration for mental health advocates seeking to prevent or reduce stigma of mental illness and protect the rights of people with mental and substance use disorders.
