I've done what I often do unfortunately, and fallen into the trap of using an engineering term that does not really work in normal usage. In...
I have come to realise (see my post #25, #32 etc in this thread), that psychological treatments like CBT and GET are in a different class to other...
Without going into detail I will claim some personal experience here. In cases where shifting of perceptions and beliefs are valid, then once such...
I don't recall saying I thought there were. And I don't see the relevance. For such a person genuinely needing such help, then I strongly believe...

Trouble is, when a healthy person goes down with a virus, be it lightweight or hard hitting, in most of those instances the person will not be...

I think the point is that physios are going to get involved anyway, whatever anyone might otherwise think. This paper makes it clear such...
... and so closing the BPS circle.
Clearly wedded to the notion that that exercise will make you feel better, which is likely true if you are a relatively physically healthy person...
Yes, agree entirely. When we talk about conflicts of interest I think it is more specifically about potential COI. So it seems to me the first...
The thing about advisors is they need to be independent, no matter what they are advising on.
If that were all that counted then why would anyone go to all the time and expense of running clinical trials? One of the main reasons for trials...
Which is what I said in my preceding post (and subsequent post in no way meant to countermand) ... The point being that subjective outcomes in...
