[Liie]

I post here a link to my earlier post about a podcast featuring the author:

Post in thread 'Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) - articles, social media and discussion'

Friday at 6:59 PM

Long COVID vs. functional neurological disorder: Punching down
Shelley Dawson

Chapter from book Clashing Vulnerabilities, Disability and Conflict

Podcast with the author: https://www.sciencewritenow.com/lis...tive-of-functional-neurological-disorders-fnd

She is presented like this:

Dr Shelley Dawson is a sociolinguist/discourse analyst [...] She investigates functional neurological disorder from a discourse perspective

The rest of the podcast participants seem to be FND people.

An article by Elke Hausmann about The Age of Diagnosis has the following interesting comment by a person who claims to be a psychiatrist with long covid:

Blaming dichotomies has become an avoidance mechanism in psychiatry and beyond to address (extremely) falsely balanced issues.

Exactly this is it that Dawson practices!

PS: The comment poster Tom Molmans would probably get along well with the members of this forum!

Edit: PPS: Tom Molmas has apparently been mentioned quite a few times on the forum already.
