DESCRIPTION:Conférence sur place et en ligne\n\n\n8 octobre 2025\, 15h à 
 17h.\n\n\nA-3316\, pavillon Hubert-Aquin 3e étage à l'UQAM (400 rue Sain

 ma as an Actant in the History of Psychiatric Disorder \n\n\n(résumé)\n
 \n\nThe slogan \"end the stigma\" has become pervasive in mental health co
 ntexts. It makes a straightforward suggestion: if we can counter social pr
 ejudices about mental illness then we will be able to address mental illne
 ss more effectively and humanely. It is reminiscent of other medical-socia
 l movements such as the ones to reduce the stigma of breast cancer\, begin
 ning in the 1970s with Betty Ford's openness about her own diagnosis and t
 reatment and continuing with the work of advocacy groups such as Susan G. 
 Komen and the National Breast Cancer Coalition to successfully fund and im
 plement programs for early detection and intervention.I signed on to \"end
  the stigma\" for mental illness a long time ago. However\, in learning mo
 re about the history of mental health stigma\, both in general and for par
 ticular conditions\, I have found that stigma is a slippery beast that is 
 often imperfectly managed by efforts that implicitly or unconsciously resu
 lt in further stigmatization of some or all mental health conditions. It i
 s not easy\, and may not even be possible\, to \"end the stigma.\" In addi
 tion\, I have found that stigmatizing judgments run so deep that they have
  influenced professional judgments about the scope of psychiatric disorder
  and about the categories of psychiatric disorder. Stigma is not added to 
 some neutral medical categories by a prejudiced society\; rather\, stigma 
 was involved in making the categories themselves.\n\n\nAVEC MIRIAM SOLOMON
