In past postings, you have read of discontent with the eating disorder industry, discontent with the manner in which this insidious disease seems to be downplayed by society and frustration with fathers or other persons who do not invest themselves to act proactively.
As a community and industry, we seem to be reactive, to trumpet the latest purported "breakthrough" with whichever form of counseling seems to be in vogue, while embracing the ever increasing number of pharmaceutical "solutions" designed to address the symptomology of this disease.
Certainly, counseling will always be a very important part of the equation to combat the disease. At yet at the same time, we must find a way to better empower those who are suffering from this disease so that they feel like they at least, in part, control their own recovery.
The following proposal is certainly not designed to be a "cure all" nor an all encompassing answer to the complexities of eating disorders. But, it may be a bold, new frontier different than prior limited trials of vaguely similar types of therapy which were not even given an opportunity to establish a toehold in the eating disorder industry.
In any event, The Morgan Foundation chooses to explore this frontier... no raising money for more counseling on the back end, no flowers, no butterflies, no rainbows all of which merely put a band aide on a broken leg. We choose to be bold. We choose to dare. And if we initially fail, we choose to try again. We are the Storm.
