  • S2E2 The Voice in my Head - A review of the Joe Tracini documentary
    May 23 2024

    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?
    May 6 2024
    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.
