On the epistemic injustices of personality disorders

Jay Watts (2024) has recently called for the negation of the concept of (borderline) personality disorder on that grounds that it promotes several epistemic injustices in clinical contexts. In this brief response, I provide my support for Watts' diagnosis of this problem but provide an alternative solution to that problem: namely, not the negation of (borderline) personality disorder but its transformation as a relational disorder, a view that appears to be preferred by most relevant stakeholders and one that hopefully will reduce the epistemic injustices of the label ''personality disorder''.
