Abstract In the United States, the number of justice-involved individuals living with mental illnesses is large and growing; however, there is little information about internalized stigma experienced by this population. To address this gap, we assessed internalized stigma and its relationship with symptomatology and demographic and clinical characteristics among 108 probationers with severe mental illnesses. More than third of the sample reported high levels of internalized stigma, and more than half of the sample reported high scores on alienation and social withdrawal subscales. There was a positive and significant correlation between symptomatology and internalized stigma. Interventions to address internalized stigma among justice-involved people with mental illnesses are needed.

内在污名及其与精神疾病患者的司法关系

摘要在美国，患有精神疾病的司法人员数量庞大且正在增加；但是，关于该人群经历的内部污名化的信息很少。为了解决这一差距，我们评估了108名严重精神疾病缓刑者的内在污名及其与症状学，人口统计学和临床​​特征的关系。超过三分之一的样本报告了较高的内在污名化程度，一半以上的样本报告了在疏离和社交退缩量表上的高分。症状学和内在污名之间存在正相关和显着相关。需要采取干预措施，以解决涉及司法的患有精神疾病的人的内在污名。
