«Paradigms Lost: Fighting Stigma and the Lessons Learned» is the essay by Heather Stuart, Julio Arboleda-Florez and Norman Sartorius, in hardback.
The book questions paradigms on reducing stigma in mental health. It proposes «enlightened opportunism»: seizing every occasion to combat it and setting goals with affected groups. It advocates measuring success by behavioural changes and debunks myths such as that informing or community care suffice to destigmatise.
