Perceptions of Mental Illness Among Public School Teachers

Bentz, W. Kenneth; And Others

Sociol Educ, 42, 4, 400-406, Fall '69

This paper reports the results of a recent study of the perceptions and attitudes about mental illness of 360 teachers in two rural North Carolina counties. A comparison of the results of this study with others conducted in the 1950's suggests that teachers are better able than the general public to identify symptoms of mental illness." (Author/SE)
