S2E2 The Voice in my Head - A review of the Joe Tracini documentary
Hollie and Keir remember to introduce themselves, think about the first documentary about "personality disorder" they are aware of being on national TV and lament that there was a lot of talk of madness and disorder and not enough 'natural responses to abuse'.

S2E1 Should we diagnose children with Borderline Personality Disorder?
Hollie Berrigan and Keir Harding return for WKOM season two. It kicks off with some reflections around why there was a 2 year gap between episodes before leaping in to the rights and wrongs of using a BPD diagnosis for children. The attempt to see things from both sides is largely a failure. If you want to add your name to a letter saying children shouldn't be diagnosed than do so here:

Episode 13 - Anthony Bateman and MBT
MBT is one of the few therapies with an evidence base for those diagnosed with "personality disorder". In this episode co-creator of MBT Anthony Bateman talks about the therapy, how it works and who it is supposed to help while dispelling some myths about the therapy. Anthony talks with a lot of expertise and and compassion on the subject and we both really enjoyed this interview.
His writing is very accessible and this book is a must read for all those interested in this area. Enjoy and let us know what you think - [email protected], @wrongkindofmad on twitter and instagram and we're on Facebook, but we never use it. Keep in touch!

BIGSPD Day 2 - With Oliver Dale, Julia Bazdell and Anne Aiyegbusi
Reflecting on the second (and last) day of the British Personality Disorder Conference, we consider the future of the term personality disorder, the presentation of a family whose daughters died by suicide calling for earlier diagnosis and we talk of the impact of racism in society and services. Why are personality disorder services predominantly white? Why do black people pick up different labels, more often in criminal justice services rather than mental health ones?
Big trigger warning for this podcast as it considers themes around abuse and suicide. It's also got the heaviest feel of any of the episodes we have done thus far.
Hollie Berrigan and Keir Harding talk about issues associated with "personality disorder". With a variety of guests who are experts in the field, this is a wry look at the issues around this controversial diagnosis. It can be a bit sweary and we might discuss adverse experiences and self harm.
