Their stark anecdotes about the physical pain of corrective procedures, coupled with the psychological sting of ridicule and rejection, reflect the reality faced by all those who are seen as different. "As my outer deformity faded, an inner one took hold," producer Grundman comments.

Left to Right Scott Donnelly, Tracie Metzger, Kevin Pollak, Alicia Rankey. "The Patients of Courage program acknowledges patients who have gone through great trials and tribulations to sustain their life, and have not let their lives be destroyed by these terrible negative events," states ASPS President James Wells, MD. PATIENTS OF COURAGE The first patient, Tracie Metzger, of Cincinnati is a breast cancer survivor; Tracie was diagnosed with breast cancer at the young age of 30. After undergoing chemotherapy and breast reconstruction, she realized there were very few, if any, support groups for young women diagnosed with breast cancer. So, Tracie, with two other young breast cancer survivors, founded Pink Ribbon Girls (PRG) support group for younger women with breast cancer. PRG, which is growing nationally, goes beyond support. It provides education, fund raising, and such services as catering meals during chemotherapy or after surgery. As Richard B. Williams, MD, who nominated Tracie explains, "Tracie is one of those unique individuals able to tackle the physical and emotional aspects of her disease and turn it into a positive force in her life."

Facing It Together Foundation For children and adults suffering with facial differences. What we do to help: Children and adults with facial differences need our help. Medical problems that produce an alteration in facial appearance dramatically affect their lives. Whether this change is the result of a birth related disorder or an acquired problem such as trauma or facial cancer, patients with these problems need support. Although not life threatening, changes in facial appearance dramatically alter the way society views and interacts with a person. Our facial appearance is the first impression people in our family and local community have of all of us. When this appearance is altered, so is the reaction of others. Therefore, unlike other medical conditions such as heart disease, liver disease, lung disease, etc., facial disorders dramatically impact the way patients interact with society on a daily basis. In our area, one out of every five hundred children born have some sort of facial disfigurement. In addition, one in every thousand adults has some form of facial deformity related to trauma or cancer. Yet in spite of the large number of people affected by these problems, very little is being done to improve their standard of living. There has been no major advancement in the treatment of these problems in over the last decade. In Florida, there is little to no research being conducted to improve the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of these problems. More importantly, our state is only beginning to help patients and families deal with the fall out of these complex problems.

78. Social Research- Volume 67 No. 1 as Revealed by Neurological Loss The Subjective Experience of facial Difference Consistency and Individual differences in facial Attractiveness http://www.socres.org/vol67/issue671.htm

FACES Volume 67 No. 1 (SPRING 2000) Arien Mack, Editor Table of Contents Notes on Contributors Ordering information Editor's Note At first glance the subject of this issue might puzzle readers. Why is this journal, which typically organizes issues on topics such as "Democracy," "The Decent Society," or even on "Hope and Despair," organizing an issue on "Faces," a subject which might be better addressed by an Art or Psychology journal? I think, however, on reflection and upon reading the articles in this issue, it will become clear why this seemed an appropriate subject. Let me here state only a few of the reasons. First, the face is that part of us which is usually most visible and recognizable, and so in some cultures it must be masked, veiled, or transformed in a variety of ways. It is the seat of beauty and the mirror of our emotions. It is that part of us which we are most likely to alter, either by cosmetics or cosmetic surgery. Its changing images are seen as the public manifestations of the self, the character, and the soul. Ancient myths and stories portray the dangers of looking at either one's own reflection or into the face of some other (for example, God) and so we endow the face with special powers. The face is also a subject that figures in poetry, literature, and, metaphorically, in our languages (to lose face, to save face, to be two-faced, etc.) Men and women treat the face differently in different cultures and at different times. It is the subject of portrait-painting and photography, and has an important place in the history of art. And so the face is an "interdisciplinary" subjectthe papers in this issue demonstrate this.
