Opinions about Mental Illness

The attitudes of professionals and laymen in the USA and in Greece towards mental patients were compared by using the Opinions Towards Mental Illness questionnaire. Two factors labeled Authoritarian-Restrictiveness and Familial Interaction were identified and judged to reflect traditional cultural values. Nationality was more powerful than professional training in determining attitudes towards mental illness. The influence of professional training appears selective and limited by local societal norms
