Stereotype Threat And Psychosis

What is Stereotype Threat, and how does it apply to Psychotic people? Here I disucss this concept from Social Psychology and how it applies to the lives and well being of people with Psychosis. Having Psychosis can be incdredbily alienating, and we need allies to help us. You can ease the stereotype burden on Psychotic people by taking simple steps to educate yourself and those around you.
