"Crystal Arnold and Lynn Shaw of The University of Western Ontario, and Gerald Landry of the Canadian Injured Workers' Alliance, performed research to explore the transitions and life experiences in everyday living of an injured worker suffering from multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS).  The researchers used metaphors to facilitate the subject's expression of deep thoughts and feelings.  This helped them to understand the transition process from a worker to participating in daily life without work."
