Publisher's Synopsis
During the last years there have been numerous studies that have been interested in analyzing the social stigma of the people with mental health problems, concluding that the stigma that surrounds this population does not seem that it has reduced if not that, in certain contexts, it is considered that it has increased. People with mental illness are one of the most stigmatized groups in our society, especially those with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. From Occupational Therapy it is important to act in favor of the creation of inclusive communities, working to eliminate prejudice and stigma that affects the socialization, inclusion and welfare of people with mental disorders, encouraging them to develop a life project according to their meaningful occupations.
