Comparing Case Studies: Examining Stigma within the Family of a Child with Mental Illness
Taylor, Shanon S.; Bingham, Ann; Vega, Sara A.
Educational Research: Theory and Practice, v30 n1 p51-56 2019
We will discuss how we found evidence of courtesy stigma in a early case study and through those parental interviews, determined that siblings have an important story of their own to share. The issues surrounding courtesy stigma are that the family members of the child with an E/BD feel diminished and de-valued by the very professionals that should be providing services and support to them.
