Pourquoi parler de préjugés, de discrimination et d'exclusion en santé mentale? Parce que la stigmatisation est le principal frein au rétablissement de ceux qui sont aux prises avec un trouble mental ou psychique. La crainte d'être jugées et dévalorisées, et que le regard des autres se transforme à leur égard, empêche la plupart de ces personnes de demander de l'aide, avec pour conséquence qu'elles souffrent inutilement. Des gens atteints d'un trouble mental de même que des proches, touchés eux aussi par la réprobation, ont bien voulu sortir de l'ombre pour témoigner de leur expérience et suggérer des pistes de solution. Certains des plus grands experts en la matière, provenant du Québec, de la France et des États-Unis, ont également accepté de vulgariser leurs découvertes en matière de stigmatisation. Ce livre propose des solutions concrètes et accessibles qui visent à mettre fin à la stigmatisation tant au sein des services de soins que du marché du travail, du système d'éducation et de la population en général.

"When newsworthy violence occurs, mental illness is frequently blamed. This overemphasis on mental illness fuels social stigma and cognitive bias that exaggerates the link between violence and mental illness. But science shows this link is weaker than commonly believed and that numerous other risk factors are stronger predictors of violence, such as psychopathy, younger age, being male, access to guns, substance abuse, and anger. Because overemphasizing the role of mental illness leads to underemphasizing the role of these other risk factors, this leads to suboptimal violence prevention policy. Conversely, if the media, policymakers, and the public recognize these stronger, multiple risk factors for violence, then this opens up the door to developing and implementing more effective strategies for evidence-based violence prevention that will lead to greater public safety"--
