ABSTRACT

The concept of “Epistemic Injustice” was used as a tool to interpret practices applied during the administration of Mental Health legislation by the Mental Health Tribunal Scotland. This highlighted instances of being wronged on several occasions in my capacity as a knower. Example contributory factors included the Tribunal structure and sub-optimal application of heuristics by panel members. Factors associated with an appeal process involving a “Designated Medical Practitioner” may offer some potential for improvement of routine application of administrative aspects of Mental Health legislation. Testimonial and hermeneutical issues should be considered.

精神卫生立法管理中的“精神不公正”

摘要

“精神不公正”的概念被用作解释苏格兰精神卫生法庭在精神卫生立法管理过程中采用的做法的工具。这突显了我作为一个认识者多次受到委屈的情况。促成因素的示例包括仲裁庭的结构和小组成员对启发式方法的次优应用。与涉及“指定医生”的上诉过程相关的因素可能会为改善精神卫生法规的行政管理常规应用提供一些潜力。应考虑证明和解释问题。
