However, the whole paper is so laboriously written. And it was inappropriate to launch an attack (however seemingly politely) on the "founding member of a parent advocacy group". <br /><br />And as a former sufferer of AN, as well as scientist, I disagree with much of what Strober argues. I have previously commented on the opening paragraphs on your blog, Charlotte, but I will also highlight something else Strober states in the Conclusion to the manuscript:<br /><br />"Still, even though vulnerability<br />begins with genes and biology, to assume there is neither intentionality nor volition involved at any level of the illness is a fallacy; biology and willfulness are not mutually exclusive processes."<br /><br />The starvation of AN, in those who are vulnerable to this illness changes the brain in such a way that personal volition is altered. The anorexic person sometimes feels that they are acting under freewill, but once they are recovered, they can look back with a sense of incredulity and ask themselves "did I really, honestly, think that?".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1011660132120465673.post-52413525488086762592012-02-06T11:13:49.355+00:002012-02-06T11:13:49.355+00:00No, but Charlotte: tell us what you really feel!No, but Charlotte: tell us what you really feel!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17219492984914810944noreply@blogger.com
