Social Inclusion of Mentally Ill Persons

Tuesday, 12 July 2016: 16:00-17:30
Location: Hörsaal 6B P (Neues Institutsgebäude (NIG))
RC49 Mental Health and Illness (host committee)

Language: English and Spanish

Not only mentally ill persons confront stigma to be socially included, but there is a complex network that constitute barriers to this inclusion. These are principally social barriers, allocated in familiar context, in professional attitudes, in medical and pharmacological therapies, in psico-social procedures and the like.
Considering that the most important handicap of mentally ill persons is exclusion and segregation, to devote research to the factors or dimensions that explain this result has the most important practical and theoretical consequences. It is directly related to the quality of life, human rights and happiness of these persons. If we do not know how the dimensions have impact in exclusion, and how these factors interact, there cannot be clear guidelines in order to eliminate or minimize or understand these barriers.
