SHUNNED: DISCRIMINATION AGAINST PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS

About this book

"Shunned presents clearly for a wide readership information about the nature and severity of discrimination against people with mental illness and what can be done to reduce this. The book features many direct quotations from people with mental illness, showing how this has affected their home, personal, social, and working life. After discussing, both from personal accounts and from a thorough review of the literature, the nature of discrimination, the book sets out a clear manifesto for change."--BOOK JACKET.
