To repeat. Every patient with 'emotionally unstable personality disorder' I have provided care to has - without exception - experienced trauma. 'EUPD' is one of the most stigmatized conditions. No wonder people reject this label. More trauma informed care must be made available.









At some point during my PhD, my partner and I discovered that some doctoral graduates (read Finnish) get a sword when they graduate. Apparently this is a fact my partner held on to and he decided to honor me with my very own Doctor's Sword now that I’m done. 🥺

Huge congratulations to Dr. @JayneErlam!!! Today, Dr. Erlam successfully defended her thesis on S136 detentions, policing, and mental distress in the UK 🥳🎉🥳🎉 Thank you to @dr_yanghu and @KarenB_LU for invaluable feedback and support along the way! Well done, Jayne 👏👏👏🍾🥂
