...avoid their chronic pain. To shift kids away from focusing only on alleviating their symptoms, therapists discussed how their pain was not caused by a harmful disease or injury and how previous strategies (such as taking painkillers) had not worked. Kids were encouraged instead to notice and accept discomfort and to get back into activities they had abandoned. Therapists and kids talked about what the kids really wanted out of life and how they could achieve it. (See the top 10 medical breakthroughs...
...rape, and bodily destruction inundate the stories displayed. Even the presentation of the text itself is challenging. Words, set in uniform lines, cram the frame.

But I don't think it's the doctor's job to be involved in that, other than to refer to a professional...
...lighting is just strong enough to capture his eyes, which avert downwards and away from the penetrating gaze of the camera and the viewer. Fani-Kayode’s attire seems to suggest conventional Western spirituality; the photographer’s apparent awkwardness in such garb intimates the discomfort of his relationship with these religious values, perhaps due to his homosexuality and his African heritage.Throughout “Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989),” the audience is struck by similarly evocative and potent images that present an individual crashing against and through boundaries created by his circumstances.
