The purpose is to show the type of social dynamics that, in such contexts, derive in an exclusion of the testimony of the people who resort to them. The central thesis argues that understanding the different social dynamics that lead to the different types of exclusions implies breaking down social circumstances of different depths, some of which are interrelated, as represented by the production of biases derived from different types of prejudices (identity or participation), while others respond to the constitution of an excess of credibility granted to certain expert fields. Thus, the invitation is to think that the restitution of epistemic justice in this type of care does not depend either on the correction of a single social instance or on the improvement of a single expert system.</p> ER -
