    People with physical or mental disabilities such as HIV, substance abuse, cancer, or depression are negatively affected not only by the disease, but also by others amp rsquo negative reactions to it. This humane book prepares advocates and health care professionals to more effectively fight the social injustice of stigma and better support the families of those with disabilities.

    Readers will gain a solid understanding of the common experience of stigma as well as how to combat prejudiced responses to specific disabilities, including childhood disorders, obesity, and Alzheimer amp rsquo s disease.
