The aim of this paper is to present how those individuals whose body has been changed due to disease process (anorexia or oncological pathologies) experience their bodyliness. Authors’ own qualitative research among 10 women with anorexia and 10 who undergone mastectomy is going to be shown. Also potential mechanisms which can cause disordered body image and the phenomenon of self-stigma and self-exclusion in these groups will be consider. In the lights of obtained results, sample women feel embarrassed because of the “imperfect” body they have. The aspect of stigma which women after mastectomy internalized the most is the esthetic value, whereas those with anorexia have much difficulties in interpersonal relationships which leads to self-isolation.

Joanna Gładyszewska-Cylulko, Self-stigma in the visually impaired, Interdisciplinary Contexts of Special Pedagogy, No. 22, Poznań 2018. Pp. 179–193. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-391X. DOI: https://doi.org/10.14746/ikps.2018.22.11 The blind and visually impaired are one of the groups prone to stigma. Stigma imposed by social environment may lead to self-stigma, that is expressing negative opinions about oneself as a result of the carried sigma. Self-stigma usually develops in three stages: first the stigmatised person realizes that they have been stereotyped, then they accept the stereotype and finally apply it to themselves. Thus, to develop selfstigma, the person has to be aware that they are perceived by the society in a stereotypical way (a blind person is usually perceived as passive, dependent and reliant on other people’s help), accept it and acknowledge themselves that this is their real image. Not every visually impaired person is will develop self-stigma. The article presents selected factors and preventive measures that may reduce the risk of self-stigma.
