Probably a misprint and supposed to read, "the elevation of childhood suffering".

I don't think such a thing was even said to have been sent to Wessely. My understanding is that it is claimed to have been said in a anonymous phone call to him.

Anyone at anytime has the right access CBT or supportive counselling for just about anything, there's is no need for it to be named as a specific treatment for anything especially when there's zero evidence it achieves anything. By attaching it to specific illnesses within a guideline its just...

I just liked this post but I really wish there was a "like-ish" button for those moments that everything goes a bit ewwwwww...... I'm happy to stick to Kenny Rogers fried chicken via my cake hole.

You will never guess what I found online, - Hitler being harassed!

I'm sorry but with a name like Crawley when you manipulate children into bogus quack based studies people who can think clearly about what you are doing are going to call you Creepy Crawley and the Child catcher, especially in England where we specialise in satire to make genuine points.

Ah so he had the cure back then! Thirty years on with countless audiences with policy makers, researchers and doctors his cure is still a bullshit "thing of beauty" that has actually left people permanently disabled and incapacitated for 3 decades and many more to come. Yet again somehow even...

I have long since stated that this whole debacle is not just about magically disappearing ME its about growing the brand of CFS casting such a wide meaningless net. Its just ludicrous that the BPS have controlled medicine to such an extent in the last three decades that they have shaped policy...

I'm sorry but this is just rubbish, the woman is a danger to children and adults and she lies through her teeth on stage, in presentations and in her communications, that's proven. The fact that people remark on her failings and quackery online in a straight talking way is not harassment its...

Surely its not hard to comment on Crawleys Ted talk on youtube. All it needs is for someone with a youtube account to post a video outlining the flaws in her account that day and then people comment underneath. You don't even need to make long video infact you may not even have to make one of...

But its bizarre that there is no overseeing organisation that one has to belong to or at least first prove you have the basic understanding of how to design a study. You need a licence to drive a car and have to sit a test first. Without the test yes most people could shuffle along until they...

What the hell does this have to do with the "activities measured" in the PACE trial the claimed recovery results and the philosophy of causation used for such trials?

Im happy with that. One thing though the last sentence should read "less people would have.....instead, of "less people would not have."

Back then??!! Back then when? What about having an active role in the PACE trial and to date the defense of it, what about the Times article with made up email art work declaring the patients militant purveyors of death threats, what about saying you feel safer in Afghanistan than dealing...

Are we to expect the Independent to give an article over to the BPS crows now in the, "interests of balance"?

I'm not on twitter I try to steer as far away from social media as I possibly can I'm afraid. Also my overall point is about dustbin diagnosis on the whole and how using the PTSD label can also bury other illnesses for example. The BPS crowd would gladly settle for ME "being a type of PTSD"...

Yes but get to the nitty gritty he thinks PTSD is the physical manifestation of emotional stress if he follows the mainstream view. Does he think the same of ME? Yes or No? PTSD does not require the notion of malingering. Also what does he think GWI is?

Does he think that ME is not Malingering but PTSD?

From memory I think people have tried to watch this exchange before but for some reason found that the Q and A session at the end of the conference was not on the DVD.

Yes she is probably in conversation as we speak with the SMC to churn out some more of the usual deaths threat, militant patient etc claims in the general media whilst simultaneously totally whitewashing the COPE BMJ response.
