How to fight against stigma and auto-stigma of persons diagnosed with psychosis?: Presentation of the treatment of psychotic disorders in two social contexts
Kako protov stigme i autostigme osoba s dijagnozom psihoze? Prikaz tretmana psihotičnih poremećaja u dva društvena konteksta
Апстракт
In this paper, we discuss the possibility of applying the psychodrama method in dealing with the stigmatized group of people with psychotic disorders. Despite many advances in pharmacy and psychotherapy, it is true that in the Western world there is still a marked stigma and discrimination against psychiatric patients. Our research question was whether the outcome could be different if the treatment of patients was performed in a manner different from that which is common in Western psychiatric practice? To answer this question, we describe the treatment and treatment outcomes for psychosis patients in Africa, and then outline how to reduce stigma and auto-stigma through psychodrama. The theoretical basis for this is Moreno's theory of roles as well as various theoretical views on the possibilities of the psychotherapy of psychoses. This "step-by-step" treatment has been shown to lead to learning new and more appropriate patterns of behavior, acquiring previously unpracticed social rol...es, and ultimately to increasing self-esteem, much like African psychotherapy. The final outcome of both approaches is similar to each other by the rituals they use and the permissions they give to patients to be authentic in their illness-without imposing "normality" from expert positions, low relapse rates, high social functionality and low self-stigma. It can be concluded that by considering the importance of social-psychological, sociological as well as socio-cultural aspects of mental disorders, it can significantly contribute to reducing discrimination and stigmatization of mentally ill people.
U ovom radu, bavimo se prikazom mogućnosti primene psihodramske metode u radu sa stigmatizovanom grupom osoba sa psihotičnim poremećajem. I pored brojnih dostignuća u oblasti faramcije i psihoterapije, istina je da u zapadnom svetu i danas opstaje izrazita stigma i diskriminacija psihijatrijskih pacijenata. Naše istraživačko pitanje bilo je da li ishod može biti drugačiji, ukoliko se tretman obolelih izvodi na način različit od onog koji je uobičajen u zapadnoj psihijatrijskoj praksi? Da bismo odgovorili na ovo pitanje, opisali smo način tretiranja i ishode lečenja obolelih od psihoza u Africi, a potom smo prikazali na koji način se u psihodrami postiže smanjenje stigme i autostigme. Teorijska osnova za to je Morenova teorija uloga kao i različita teorijska stanovišta o mogućnostima psihoterapije psihoza. Pokazalo se da je ovaj tretman izvođen u "koracima" vodi učenju novih i adekvatnijih obrazaca ponašanja, sticanju do tada nepraktikovanih socijalnih uloga i konačno porastu samopoštov...anja, slično kao i afrička psihoterapija. Konačan ishod i jednog i drugoh pristupa koji međusobno nalikuju po ritualima koje koriste i dozvolama koje daju pacijentima da budu autentični u svojoj bolesti - bez nametanja "normalnosti" sa ekspertskih pozicija, nizak su nivo relapsa, visoka socijalna funkcionalnost te niska samostigmatizacija. Može se zaključiti da se kroz sagledavanje značaja socijalno-psiholoških, socioloških ali i socio-kulturoloških aspekata mentalnih poremećaja u značajnoj meri može doprineti smanjenju diskriminacije i stigmatizacije mentalno obolelih ljudi.
