Sample text
Part 3 of the book is comprised of a single chapter which deals, first, with formulating a manifesto for change and a strategy for influencing policy development. This is a vitally important area which requires careful consideration if progress is to be made. Second, we draw all the major themes of the book together and offer a final conclusion on the issues of stigma and social exclusion. Socially excluded groups tend to exist because of socialised attitudes governing prejudicial behaviour against them.
However, some protagonists may claim that their plight is their own responsibility and they should be made accountable for their position. In any event, what is important is that all views strongly expressed tend to place upon those who are stigmatised a pressure to conform which can have deleterious effects on their physical, emotional and social health. Such campaigning influences are usually effective because the proponents tend to be specialists in their topic area and experienced in their lobbying.
The fluidity of stigma was reflected in the historical analysis of the concept presented in Chapter 2, and we can understand the cultural force of social exclusion if a community can establish an association between the perceived disorder and the behaviour of the person who is afflicted, even when the association is spurious. This was the case with such stigmatising diseases as, say, leprosy, when the causal relationship was perceived as referring to the person being considered to be possessed by the devil.
