Abstract
Stigma is a complex phenomenon described by the intersection of structures and types. In this chapter, we describe components of these structures, which largely derive from social psychological research, and types, which reflect mechanisms of stigma and mental illness. This includes a discussion of stigma as experienced by family members and more implicit forms of stigma. These constructs sometimes vary by mental illness so this chapter summarizes research in this area as well (Box 3.1).
