	abstract = {The relationship between stigmatization and the self-regard of
patients/consumers with mental disorder is negative but only moderate in
strength, probably because a subset of persons with mental illness resists
devaluation and discrimination by others. Resistance has seldom been
discussed in the stigma and labeling literatures, and thus conditions
under which individuals are resistant have not been identified. I define
resistance as opposition to the imposition of mental illness stereotypes
by others and distinguish between deflecting (" that's not me") and
challenging resistance strategies. Individuals should be more likely to
employ resistance strategies when they have: past experience with stigma
resistance; past familiarity with an ill family member or friend; symptoms
that are non-severe or controlled; treatment experience in settings run by
consumers; initially high levels of psychosocial coping resources; and
multiple role-identities. Incorporating resistance into classic and
modified labeling theories of mental illness highlights the personal
agency of labeled individuals, missing especially in classic labeling
theory.},
