Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study elucidates the forms of epistemic injustice imposed on persons with mental disabilities through the concepts of insight and lack of insight, employing an ethnomethodological conceptual analysis. Specifically, it examines (1) how terms related to insight and lack of insight are used in memoirs written by persons with mental disabilities and in commentaries on those texts and (2) how support practices targeting people with mental disabilities respond to problems of epistemic injustice related to insight. Through this analysis, the study clarifies how the concept of insight is articulated in both personal narratives and support practices and how it contributes to the construction of epistemic injustice.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

哲学者M.フリッカーは、マイノリティのこうむる認識と表現にかかわる概念的資源の不正なあり様を「認識的不正義」と呼んだ。病識概念のもとで精神障害当事者が強いられてきた状況もそのひとつである。本研究はこの状況を問題と捉え、病識・病識欠如という精神医学的概念を社会的コンテクストのなかに置き直して検討した。具体的には、精神障害の当事者による手記とそれらについての論評、精神障害者を対象とする支援実践を対象に、関連諸概念の用法の分析的解明を通じて病識概念にまつわる認識的不正義のあり様を具体的に特定した。そのうえで、この問題に志向して行われている支援実践を主題に、その相互行為的組織方法を記述的に解明した。
