ABSTRACT
When I began treatment for my eating disorder, I didn’t know that science had a place in my therapist’s office. My therapist’s office held the therapist (obviously), me, a couch, and maybe a few bookshelves. None of the therapists I saw mentioned the research that supported their recommendations – not that I would have listened, anyway, not with my eating disorder firmly in charge. Science was for academia, for people in white lab coats. Strange things like Tukey’s post-hoc test and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) didn’t seem to have anything to do with my recovery.
