Archive episode [Season 4 Episode 4]: Borderline personality disorder
Description
This podcast discusses the ethics of the controversial medical condition of Borderline Personality Disorder, examining whether the high prevalence of diagnoses of Borderline Personality Disorder in female patients who have experienced trauma is the result of implicit biases around gender, and whether excessive blame towards patients with Borderline Personality Disorder constitutes a form of hermeneutic injustice. Along the way, we discuss the specifics of BPD, and explain the cutting-edge philosophical concepts of epistemic injustice and hermeneutic injustice – assuming no prior knowledge."
