Treating the “Illness” of Cherubism and Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia: Addressing the Stigma of Craniofacial Difference
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2021
Abstract
Stigma is a factor of diseases of craniofacial disfigurement, associated with negative health outcomes. Psychosocial interventions can improve the “illness” experience. The law can improve care by framing patients' rights, defining physicians' obligations to make psychological referrals, and fostering an activist orientation among patients.
