Abstract
In this chapter we consider the concept of self-stigma, present a review of the relevant literature, and consider future directions for research in this area. Self-stigma can be defined as an internal experience whereby individuals perceive themselves to be socially unacceptable. Self-stigma is important as it is associated with a wide range of detrimental effects, including diminished self-esteem, shame, secrecy, and withdrawal.
