由于色觉缺陷(CVD)是遗传性的和不可治愈的，众所周知，CVD患者不需要治疗，而是需要适当的社会适应。无论如何，一些补充和替代医学的从业者已经尝试治疗心血管疾病。通过调查这些据称在20世纪70年代和80年代在日本治疗心血管疾病的治疗师的修辞策略，本研究分析了尽管社会适应普遍存在，他们如何证明治疗心血管疾病是合理的。这些治疗师认为，单靠治疗就可以消除心血管疾病患者的“肮脏”视力，尽管很明显，任何由心血管疾病引起的麻烦都可以通过社会适应来缓解。这一发现对理解心血管疾病患者解放的历史、加强残疾人权利运动以驳斥贬低社会适应效果的医疗模式以及确定其如何与社会适应划清界限具有重要意义。
As colour vision deficiency (CVD) is hereditary and incurable, it is widely known that people with CVD do not need treatment, but rather appropriate social accommodation. Regardless, some practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine have attempted to treat CVD. By investigating the rhetorical strategies of these therapists who allegedly treated CVD in Japan in the 1970s and 1980s, this study analyses how they justified treating CVD despite the widespread prevalence of social accommodation. These therapists argued that treatment alone could remove the ‘dirty’ vision of people with CVD, even though it was clear that any trouble because of CVD can be mitigated through social accommodation. This finding has implications for understanding the history of the emancipation of people with CVD, enhancing the disability rights movement to refute the medical model that discounts the effects of social accommodation, and identifying how it demarcates itself from social accommodation.
