Mental Illness Stigma

Xena Mindhurst

Sinopse

"Mental Illness Stigma" tackles the pressing issue of societal prejudice against mental health conditions, revealing how despite one in four people experiencing mental health challenges, a staggering 60% avoid seeking help due to stigma.This comprehensive exploration traces the evolution of mental health prejudice from ancient civilizations to contemporary society, examining how deeply rooted biases continue to impact clinical outcomes and social integration. The book systematically unpacks this complex issue through three main sections: the historical foundations of mental health stigma, its present-day manifestations across cultures, and evidence-based strategies for creating more accepting communities.Drawing from archaeological records, medical manuscripts, and modern research, it illuminates fascinating historical perspectives, from ancient Greek concepts of "divine madness" to Victorian-era institutionalization, providing crucial context for understanding current attitudes and biases. Through a skillful blend of clinical studies, population surveys, and patient narratives, the text offers practical applications for various stakeholders, from healthcare professionals to community leaders.What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach to addressing stigma at individual, institutional, and societal levels, making it valuable for both professionals and general readers interested in mental health advocacy. The book concludes with actionable recommendations for implementing anti-stigma programs, developing inclusive policies, and creating effective public education campaigns, emphasizing that reducing mental health stigma requires sustained effort across multiple domains.

The Wannabe Fascists - A Guide...

Federico Finchelstein

Meet today's almost fascists and learn the warning signs to intercept them on the road from populism to dictatorship. 
 
 
  
With The Wannabe Fascists, historian Federico Finchelstein offers a precise explanation of why Trumpism and similar movements across the world belong to a new political breed, the last outcome of the combined histories of fascism and populism: the wannabe fascists. This new type of populist politician is typically a legally elected leader who, unlike previous populists who were eager to distance themselves from fascism, turns to totalitarian lies, racism, and illegal means to destroy democracy from within. 
 
 
 
Drawing on almost three decades of research on the histories of fascism and populism around the world, this book lays out in clear language what the author calls the "four pillars of fascism"—xenophobia, propaganda, political violence, and ultimately dictatorship. Finchelstein carefully explains how and why wannabe fascists like Trump, Bolsonaro, and Modi embrace the first three pillars but don't quite succeed in dictatorship and total suppression of the popular vote. The Wannabe Fascists stresses the importance of preventing despots from reaching this tipping point and offers a clear warning for what's at stake.

King Philips War

Introbooks Team

One of the most significant wars in the history of British American Colonies is the King Philips War which is also known as the Great Narragansett War. Others may also call it Metacomet’s War, First Indian War, Metacom’s War or the Metacom’s Rebellion. The 14 months long war brought much destruction and loss of lives. The natives furiously attacked the English settlements in this period and destroyed several of them. King Philip’s War saw the highest loss of lives in terms of war in the history of America. There were as many as 40% natives who lost their lives or fled the nation in fear of death. The natives who survived the war were taken prisoners and sold as slaves. There were many native villages also that were destroyed and New England’s native population was now reduced to a few handful natives scattered throughout the region. The war was won by the Puritan English who then saw this victory as a sign to expand their settlements. Whatever independence the natives had was lost because of the war. The political system of the natives was now controlled by the colonies and the natives were now slaves in the region. The war left a deep and stretched impact on the natives who had to suffer for long.
