controlling the situation or the self in the situation),
whereas secondary control coping involves adapting to the
stressful event. A great deal of the research on stigma has
focused on secondary control coping (distraction, cognitive
restructuring, and acceptance) strategies through which
stigmatized people can psychologically adapt to the
stigma-related stressors that confront them [68]. Distraction
involves engaging in cognitions or behaviours that
draw attention away from the stressor.
Again, in the present case the client has having good
employability which was major strength but high internalized
stigma was barrier to vocational functioning [66]
after intervention he got paid employment which has been
observed an important way to reduce stigma and ways of
integration and recovery [22, 71, 72].
Conclusion
This social case work report is evidence that with an adequate
psychosocial intervention adjoined with pharmacological
treatment to a person with schizophrenia can
successfully achieve and maintains employment despite the
challenges like self-stigma presented by schizophrenia.
