- Abstract:
- Stigmatization is associated with considerable psychosocial impairment. Patients with chronic skin disease are especially prone to stigmatization and reduced quality of life. In contrast, patients with self-produced cutaneous artifacts receive an emotional response from family members and doctors. Stigmatization of a religious nature is always difficult for non-participants to understand. We focus on the suffering of the patient, using the example of a historical person, Saint Rita of Cascia, who bore a stigma on her forehead. We discuss why suffering is presented in this manner, and how salvation can be the positive effect of suffering.
