I lost the will to live trying to complete the questionnaire... <br /><br />The Succeed Foundation are well-meaning, but they are focusing on fluffy, run-of-the-mill, irrelevant stuff that will merely confuse people in regard to the aetiology and treatment of EDs (and especially AN).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011660132120465673.post-4481619174570492072012-01-10T19:13:17.411+00:002012-01-10T19:13:17.411+00:00Oh, and I became extremely suspicious when the par...Oh, and I became extremely suspicious when the part about "old talk" started. It seemed related to the ancient and outdated theory that anorexia is a way of remaining childlike and avoiding adult responsibilities/sexuality/guff like that. My hackles come right up when that sort of theory starts being bandied around again.Katiehttp://giantfossilizedarmadillo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011660132120465673.post-52005741427621752262012-01-10T19:10:48.320+00:002012-01-10T19:10:48.320+00:00It's a silly study, more for the link to EDs t...It's a silly study, more for the link to EDs than for the topic itself. If it had been presented as research into a problematic form of female bonding I could have understood, because it is certainly true that many women will bitch and moan about their bodies as a way of finding common ground with others. I find that sort of talk highly irritating and would welcome attempts to expose how counterproductive it is to forming real friendships. Additionally, many people in recovery from eating disorders find that sort of talk extremely triggering, because they know they are not "allowed" to join in with the dieting and self abuse when every wonky neuronal pathway in their brains wants to desperately.<br /><br />However, it is not a cause of eating disorders and it's damaging and stupid to suggest that it is. I have responded to the survey saying as much, but I highly doubt that any of these researchers/supporters will listen to the objections. No harm in trying, I guess.Katiehttp://giantfossilizedarmadillo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011660132120465673.post-41905278293386184372012-01-10T17:44:50.114+00:002012-01-10T17:44:50.114+00:00You should email and complain - I found the contac...You should email and complain - I found the contact details below of the people running that survey...I do love the woman who runs the Succeed Foundation (she's got anorexia) but they clearly have not got the right approach!<br /><br />Dr Carolyn Becker<br />Email: cbecker@trinity.edu<br />Department of Psychology,<br />Trinity University, USA<br /><br />Dr Phillippa Diedrichs<br />Email: phillippa.diedrichs@uwe.ac.uk<br />Centre for Appearance Research<br />University of the West of England, UK<br /><br />Mr Glen Jankowski<br />Email: glen.jankowski@uwe.ac.uk<br />Centre for Appearance Research<br />University of the West of England, UKMiranda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337345993981758070noreply@blogger.com
