EIGUER, Alberto. Stigma and self-hate.Traducido porMarilei Jorge. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2019, vol.53, n.1, pp.19-31. ISSN 0486-641X.

The author discusses the problem of stigmatization, evoking many problems related to the social and the psychic orders. A stigma is a defect, but when it is stigmatized, self-hate develops and the subject depreciates him or herself. The author considers that family environment has an important role in this evolution. He studies diverse aspects, principally the consequences of the gaze of others. Since family and social groups play an important part in this development, it is in groups and with their support that the situation of stigmatization is reverted and stigma may become strength. A clinical case illustrates effects of self-hate. Contributions from philosophy and sociology expand this debate.

Palabras clave : stigma; stigmatization; prejudice; self-hate; the gaze of others; self; ego.
