Yes, he does a lot of philosophizing while trying to portray it as being based in something more substantial. And it's not the honest or logical...
No major flaws that would be easy to attack, from what I recall.
They have had positive objective outcomes using Oxford, involving CPET scores. Hence Oxford itself is a substantial problem.
Exercise made me ridiculously hungry afterward. Might have been a pre-ME or mild-ME thing, however. I can have a similar problem now when I'm in...
A little hard to follow, but definitely interesting and useful in challenging the claimed efficacy of IAPT and similar treatment modalities....
