The first purpose of this overall dissertation study was to examine the existing stigma held by mental health counselors and chemical dependency counselors toward clients with substance use disorders (SUDs) and process/behavioral addictions (PBAs). The second purpose was to explore potential predictors of stigma toward clients with SUDs or PBAs. The final purpose of this study was to explore if mental health counselors experience a difference in stigma between clients with SUDs and clients with PBAs. In Manuscript 1, 146 mental health counselors and chemical dependency counselors were surveyed about the potential predictors and if they led to an increase or decrease in stigma. The results determined there was no difference between mental health and chemical dependency counselors’ stigma toward individuals with SUDs, despite the likely difference in training the two groups receive about addictions. The results also determined that none of the factors were predictive of stigma toward individuals with SUDs. These results may lead future researchers to consider additional factors that can be predictive of stigma. In Manuscript 2, 138 mental health counselors were surveyed about their stigma toward clients with SUDs and clients with PBAs. The results determined that the mental health counselors who participated in this study did not hold differences in stigma between clients with SUDs and clients with PBAs. These findings have implications on the existing academic and continuing educational opportunities mental health counselors receive about addictions.
