From Mad in Finland: The panel discussion will consider, among other things, to what extent insensitivity can be considered an objective truth about a person’s condition or whether the definition of insensitivity is always more or less a professional’s subjective interpretation of another person’s internal state and level of consciousness. What kind of power does a professional exercise when defining their client as insensitivity? And what kind of consequences does defining insensitivity have for the person who is defined as insensitivity? What kind of alternatives could there be to the use of the concept of insensitivity?

Panel discussion was actually about anosognosia/unawareness of illness/lack of insight/poor insight. So maybe insensitivity is wrong word here. Title is also little hard to translate, maybe “sickness with words” is better. Thanks for sharing, there’s video in YouTube from the event.
