| Core Tip |
Associative stigma is an extension of psychiatric stigma to those who care for patients, like family members. Scientific evidence on associative stigma in family members of psychotic patients is abundant, but culturally determined. This study tried to study the presence and severity of associative stigma in family members of psychotic patients in Flanders (Belgium) and evaluate factors to delineate subgroups vulnerable for higher associative stigma. The results show that associative stigmatization is a marked problem for parents and partners of psychotic patients: it is higher than so far demonstrated in previous international research. Disruptive behavior by the patient towards in-housing family members is the most accurate predictor of higher associative stigma. A better understanding of this complex phenomenon is certainly warranted, in order to perform more adequate clinical interventions towards family members of psychotic patients, to lower this destructive burden. |
