"In 1996, the WPA began an international programme to fight the stigma and discrimination associated with schizophrenia. The 'Open the Doors' programme has been implemented since then in more than 20 countries and has involved in the region of 200 different anti-stigma interventions." "This book details the results of these international efforts and provides recommendations and guidance for those seeking to join this initiative or to start similar efforts for dispelling stigma and discrimination."--BOOK JACKET.
