近20年来中国社会变迁加速,社会转型逐步深入。伴随这一社会进程,青少年心理问题日益凸显,引起了社会各方的广泛关注。可是,令人困惑的是寻求专业帮助的青少年患者很少。对此矛盾的现象,学者有不同的解释。本文认为,社会污名是导致青少年不去寻求专业帮助的主要原因。青少年害怕由于污名所带来的偏见、歧视和社会排斥,因而隐匿自己的心理问题。 In the recent 20 years, the social changes in China have accelerated and the social transformation has been gradually deepened. Accompanied with this social process, the psychological problems of adolescents have become increasingly prominent, attracting wide attention from all sectors of society. However, it is puzzling that very few young people seek professional help. Scholars have different interpretations of this contradictory phenomenon. This article argues that social stigma is the main reason that young people do not seek professional help. Adolescents are afraid of prejudice, discrimination and social exclusion brought about by stigma and thus hide their psychological problems.
