5: What do we mean by 'Visible Difference'

Appearance concerns affect us all to some degree, but what about those who differ not only from the ‘ideal’ but from the ‘norm’? In episode 5, Nadia and Nicola explore what it is like to be ‘visibly different’ and discuss ways in which research and practice is improving psychological support for those affected by appearance-altering conditions. This episode features interviews with the founder and CEO of the UK-based charity Changing Faces, Dr James Partridge OBE, and members of the Adult Voices Council of the Cleft Lip and Palate Association (CLAPA).
