I need an article that has people that believe blind people can't live ordinary lives. 155 Pamela A. Almon's "Mass Transportation Operators' Beliefs About Visual Impairment" in Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness; Jan2001, Vol. 95 Issue 1, p. 5, investigated 171 mass transit operators'beliefs about blindness and the factors that may influence their beliefs.

Why purple colour is used for psychotherapy? 709 You probably mean colour therapy, which is not a branch of classical psychotherapy. On the other hand, arts therapy is widely accepted as valid treatment among classical psychotherapists as well, but in this kind of arts therapy, separate colours hardly have special meaning or significance. In colour therapy, the colour purple can be interpreted in several ways. Have a look e.g. at the following links: http://www.holisticonline.com/Color/color_purple_scarlet.htm http://www.crystalinks.com/colors.html http://www.colourtherapyhealing.com/
