THE PHENOMENON OF SELF-STIGMATIZATION (PERSONAL STIGMA, SELF- STIGMA) IN PATIENTS WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA AS A PSYCHOSOCIAL PROBLEM
The study of the phenomenon of self-stigmatization and its impact on the level of social functioning and quality of life of the mentally ill is one of the priorities of social psychiatry and its student-centered direction. Since E. Goffman, who described the experience of the disabled person's own otherness among others, to the present time, the self-stigmatization is understood as a reaction to the stigma society, and also as a result of applying to himself the respective stereotypes of public consciousness.
