Ecstatic stigmatics and Holy anorexics: medieval and contemporary.

As has been shown and explained, the stigmata and other mortifications of the flesh can serve as survival tools for someone who has been severely traumatized, devout Christian or unbeliever alike. When Diana, Princess of Wales, was killed, this nonreligious woman came to be regarded by her admirers as a popular saint who wanted nothing more than to help and serve others. Despite her wealth, she became a waif in the popular imagination, and like many others who suffered great psychic pain, she too inflicted further pain and suffering on herself through starving herself, binging and purging, and cutting herself. This suffering was her visible stigmata, inspiring great popular devotion. When she died, millions cried, carrying candles in the streets as they listened to Elton John's song to this suffering woman whose light flickered "like a candle in the wind".

The stigmatization of AIDS in infants and children in the United States.

Many studies examining AIDS issues have detailed the policy implications of negative attitudes toward homosexuals, intravenous (IV) drug users, and the inner-city poor; however, none have specifically examined whether existing biases and prejudicial fears expressed toward HIV-infected adults also affect political responses to infants and children with AIDS. In this research, a survey was conducted among lobbyists to determine whether such prejudicial attitudes exist in the national policymaking arena when pediatric AIDS issues are considered. The data supports the hypothesis that policymakers legislate based on a prevailing moral code when considering AIDS treatment and education policies for children. Conversely, the moral codes appear to be absent from legislative considerations of other children's issues.

Self-stigmatization: artefact dermatitis.

Deceit by patients is fortunately relatively uncommon. Artefact dermatitis, especially in females, may form only part of a large spectrum of a simulated disease, while in males the patient may have financial compensation in mind.
