In a short-term therapy group for adult diabetics who were going blind, the issues most frequently raised concerned diabetic control, complications (including fear of death and retinopathy), rehabilitation, relationship with others, and group awareness. The meetings helped participants understand and accept their condition and begin rehabilitation. "Limbo" as an important and difficult experience is elucidated. We make recommendations for implementing these findings with other newly blind patients.
在一个针对成年糖尿病致盲患者的短期治疗小组中，最常被提及的问题涉及糖尿病控制、并发症（包括对死亡的恐惧和视网膜病变）、康复、与他人的关系以及群体意识。这些会议帮助参与者理解并接受自己的病情，开始康复。文中阐明了“边缘状态”这一重要且艰难的经历。我们针对如何将这些研究结果应用于其他新近失明的患者提出了建议。
