“…Of the 17 studies, 14 used nationally-representative sampling, 2 used university sampling and 2 used convenience sampling, this totals to 18 studies, given that one article [15*] consisted of two separate studies (Table 1). The most prominent study sites were the U.S. (5 studies), U.K. (3 studies), and other European countries (4 studies).…”

Purpose of the review To collect and update published information on the stigma associated with substance abuse in non-clinical samples, which has not been recently reviewed. Recent findings Searching large databases, a total of only 20 studies were published since 1999, with the majority of studies conducted outside the United States. Using major stigma concepts from a sociological framework (stereotyping, devaluation in terms of status loss, discrimination and negative emotional reactions), the studies reviewed predominantly indicated that the public holds very stigmatized views towards individuals with substance use disorders, and that the level of stigma was higher towards individuals with substance use disorders than towards those with other psychiatric disorders. Summary The prevalence of substance use disorders is increasing in the U.S. general population, but these disorders remain seriously under-treated. Stigma can reduce willingness of policy-makers to allocate resources, reduce willingness of providers in non-specialty settings to screen for and address substance abuse problems, and may limit willingness of individuals with such problems to seek treatment. All of these factors may help explain why so few individuals with substance use disorders receive treatment. Public education that reduces stigma and provides information about treatment is needed.

“…Similarly in this study the log-linear analysis is used to study the interactions between LTP variables categories and each family role (i.e., father, mother, and daughter), which belongs to the two groups, that is, for instance, the LTP categories are cross classified with two the groups, AN-Father vs. CTR-Father; the same for mother and daughter. The use of log-linear models for categorical data in psychological research has been consistently used in existing literature (e.g., Mannarini and Boffo, 2015; Capaldi et al, 2016; Mannarini et al, 2016b). …”

Triadic Interactions in Families of Adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa and Families of Adolescents with Internalizing Disorders

The latest studies and practice guidelines for the treatment of adolescent patients with anorexia nervosa agree in pointing out the key role played by parents in determining the young patients’ therapeutic possibilities and outcomes. Still family functioning has usually been studied using only self-reported instruments. The aim of the present study is therefore to investigate the triadic interactions within the families of adolescents with anorexia nervosa using a semi-standardized observational tool based on a recorded play session, the Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP). Parents and adolescent daughters, consecutively referred to adolescent neuropsychiatric services, participated in the study and underwent the observational procedure (LTP). The 20 families of adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa (restricting type) were compared with 20 families of patients with internalizing disorders (anxiety and depression). The results showed different interactive patterns in the families of adolescents with anorexia nervosa: they had greater difficulties in respecting roles during the play, maintaining the joint attention and in sharing positive affect, especially in the three-together phase (third phase). The majority of these families (12) exhibited collusive alliances. The parental subsystem appeared frequently unable to maintain a structuring role, i.e., providing help, support and guidance to the daughters, while the girls in turn often found it hard to show independent ideas and develop personal projects. Parents experienced difficulty in carving out a couple-specific relational space, from which the ill daughter was at least temporarily excluded also when they were asked to continue to interact with each other, letting the daughter be simply present in a third-part position (fourth phase). The study of the triadic interactions in the families of adolescents with anorexia nervosa may help to shift the attention from the exclusive mother–daughter relation to the involvement of the father, and of the parental couple as a whole. The family functioning is in fact well established as a maintaining factor of anorexia nervosa or vice versa as a facilitating factor in the therapeutic process.

“…Students' acquisition of psychiatric skills and psychiatric rotation showed limited effects on students' prejudices about people with schizophrenia, and on their pessimism about recovery (38)(39)(40). Other studies found that psychiatric knowledge was useful to improve students attitudes towards people with mental disorders and their confidence with psychiatric drugs (38,(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47).…”

“…In particular, while medical students who favored biogenetic explanations over psychosocial ones reported less attribution of responsibility, psychology students who favored biogenetic explanations over psychosocial ones reported more pessimism about prognosis. Another study, examining the beliefs of 360 psychology students in Italy on a range of mental disorders, found that PWS were the most likely to be considered as highly dangerous, and to be strongly rejected (39). A biogenetic etiology of schizophrenia and a medical treatment approach were largely endorsed.…”

“…Depression, however, which was mostly attributed to a psychosocial or biopsychosocial etiology, was the target of less prejudice, being associated with low perceived dangerousness and social distance. For depression, psychological treatment approach was recommended electively (39). Finally, a USA study on stigma toward people with mental disorders in 159 undergraduate psychology students (40) reported that participants who felt personality traits were unchangeable were more likely to stigmatize individuals with mental disorders and desired more social distance.…”
