Just goes to show that even those in the medical profession have Adlerian strivings when it comes to public recognition.
"There are many school students who will walk past it. I am a doctor and in the past 18 years I have treated a lot of bulimic and anorexic girls. That advertising is destructive to their rehabilitation," she said.
There was a time when anorexia was an 'illness' that afflicted 1 in 150,000 and the diagnosis included bulimia - so there would have been only one person so afflicted in the HB ... my, how times have changed ... & it is this sort of over inclusive, emotive, exaggerated vulnerability/exaggerated simplistic notion of cause of relapse that perpetuates this movement of increasingly defining normals as abnormals, of increasing dependence on professionals in the pursuit of narrowing of the range of 'acceptable' behaviour.
Silly stuff from someone who should know better.
