[acb-hsp] How I Learned About Mainstream Myths About EatingDisorders Are Wrong

[peter altschul]

Greetings:

Laura's comments reminded me of my days twenty years ago working 
towards my MSW when I decided to write a paper on alcoholism and 
people with visual impairments.  I believed that I could quickly 
put together this paper, but soon discovered that little research 
existed on the topic (BTW, the same thing happened when I 
researched a paper on domestic violence and the workplace).  Both 
papers became fascinating to research, and in the case of the 
alcoholism pafer, it turned out that agencies serving blind 
people either ignored the issue or used approaches that were at 
least twenty years out of date.

Best, Peter
