Engaging with the realities of stigma through a grassroots approach, topics covered include:* hearing* sight* sexuality* HIV and AIDS* drug use* teenage pregnancy* breastfeeding* old age.Stigma and Social Exclusion in Healthcare provides practical solutions to problems, recommendations for training and a blueprint for the future. It will prove a valuable reference for all those wanting to deal with the issues of stigmatisation.
