This is a really interesting way to categorise the way people deal with chronic disease- those who rebel against and fight it and those who succumb to it and feel that they have lost themselves.
There may also be a third group, those who readily accept what has happened (rather than accepting after a long period of time), I wonder what proportion of people this would be true for. I would assume that this would depend on individuals personality traits and life experiences- someone who thinks "it could be worse" may have seen worse things happen to others around them?
