对精神障碍的生物医学描述越来越普遍，但可能会对预后产生悲观情绪，并未能减少耻辱感。作者测试是否强调精神障碍的可治疗性的信息可以减少耻辱相矛盾的预后悲观主义与biologicalattributes.MethodsA共249名参与者招募在线阅读有关两个人的小插曲精神分裂症和边缘性人格障碍之一。这些小插曲将这些疾病归因于生物或非生物原因，并包括或不包括有关治疗的信息。参与者对个人的态度进行了评估与社会距离scales.ResultsParticipants谁收到有关治疗的信息有更积极的态度对个人描述的小插曲，如果疾病是由于生物原因，但如果疾病是由非生物学原因引起的，那么治疗信息就没有这样的作用。一种有效的消除耻辱感的方法。（Psychiatric Services63：496-499，2012; doi：10.1176/appi.ps.201100265）
ObjectiveBiomedical accounts of mental disorders are increasingly prevalent but can yield pessimism about prognosis and fail to reduce stigma. The authors tested whether information emphasizing the treatability of mental disorders could reduce stigma by contradicting the prognostic pessimism associated with biological attributions.MethodsA total of 249 participants recruited online read vignettes about two individuals—one with schizophrenia and one with borderline personality disorder. The vignettes attributed the disorders to biological or nonbiological causes and did or did not include information about treatment. Participants' attitudes toward the individual were assessed with social distance scales.ResultsParticipants who received information about treatment had more positive attitudes toward the individual described in the vignette if the disorder was attributed to a biological cause, but treatment information had no such effect if the disorder was attributed to a nonbiological cause.ConclusionsCombining biomedical accounts of psychopathology with information about treatment appears to be an effective destigmatization approach.
