Mental Illness in Disney Animated Films
http://www.cpa-apc.org/Publications/Archives/CJP/2004/may/lawson.asp
The Canadian Journal of Psychiatry May 2004. This study made the following conclusion:
"The findings have implications for child viewers in terms of their potentially learning prejudicial attitudes and distancing behaviours toward individuals perceived as being mentally ill. To further verify this connection, an assessment of the incidence of Disney film exposure and attitudes toward people with a mental illness, using a sample of school-aged children, is needed."Mental Illness - Articles About the Stigma Attached to Mental Illness & Media Influence on this stigma:
