When Patients Aren't Believed - What Epistemic Injustice Means for Pain Care
Dr Sabrina Coninx | Science Session
Thursday 10 September | 8.30pm (CEST) / 7.30pm (BST)
Chronic pain patients are often not believed. Not just dismissed in a single frustrating appointment, but doubted in a way that chips away at their ability to be heard as a reliable source of knowledge about their own experience.
Dr Sabrina Coninx, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, works at the intersection of philosophy, neuroscience, psychology and healthcare. This session introduces epistemic injustice: a wrong done to someone specifically in their capacity as a knower, restricting their ability to produce or share knowledge about themselves, their pain, and their life. It's become a fast-growing area of research in healthcare ethics, with chronic pain patients repeatedly flagged as especially vulnerable.
But the concept has its critics too. Some worry it's applied too broadly, and that stretching it too far risks undermining good clinical care rather than protecting it. Sabrina engages directly with these critiques, and with the harder question underneath them: what does it actually mean to take a patient seriously, and what needs to change beyond the individual clinician to make that possible?
If you've ever sat with a patient and felt the weight of not being believed on their behalf, this session gives you the language and the framework for it.
