Attitudes toward Successful Individuals with and without Histories of Psychiatric Hospitalization

Studies which have investigated attitudes toward mental illness invariably have found that distinct differences exist between subjects' attitudes toward normals and toward people considered mentally ill. Although much literature substantiates this point, little attention has been given to attitudes toward people who had been labeled mentally ill but who subsequently had demonstrated adjustment to a “normal” and successful life. The purpose of this study was to examine whether subjects perceived an ex-mental patient who subsequently had stabilized his disability and appeared to be a successfully adjusted normal as being different from someone who had roughly the same childhood and adolescent experiences but who had not been admitted for psychiatric treatment. An ex-patient was perceived as less internal, more controlled by chance and others.
