[General attitude towards the mentally ill and the ex-mentally ill.].
After demonstrating the failure of the 18th century mental health pionne era in their attempt to change public prejudice toward the mentally ill, the author enumerates various common public attitudes such as the rejection of the mentally ill. The author then goes on to underline that,' despite current negative attitudes of the population, it is nevertheless possible to change these attitudes. The two principal methods she advances to achieve this end are concentration on the positive affective elements in attitudes toward the mentally ill and research into the negative positions.
