D Breckon, and D Sweeney

The use of values clarification methods offers a means of dealing with the social-emotional stigmas associated with venereal diseass. It has become apparent that the facts alone are not sufficient in motivating the individual to seek treatment and cooperate in the epidemiologic process. This article suggests techniques of educating students or patients in order to get them in touch with their own feelings, attitudes, and prejudices. It also fosters understanding of the prevalent social myths and misconceptions about venereal diseases.
