A Real Affliction: BPD, Culture, and Stigma15 Kesä 2024

“The BPD diagnosis is an entry point to understanding how you can get to recovery”: Dr. Sara Masland

Why do we need a generalist approach to treating BPD? Because there are nearly 6000 treatment-seeking people with BPD to every certified, specialist clinician in the United States. In this episode, Dr. Sara Masland explains how she is helping to simultaneously reduce stigma and increase access to care by training others in Good Psychiatric Management. Dr. Masland is a clinical scientist, licensed clinical psychologist, and professor at Pomona College, whose research explores such topics as BPD, stigma, and epistemic trust.
