It is interesting that they recognise boom and bust as a problem. If the disability is perpetuated by unhelpful beliefs there would be no bust....
Maybe 30 and certainly 40 years ago it was acceptable for physicians to 'suck it and see' for any treatment they liked that had a license for...
I think that is inherent in the way it was done and does not imply one is broader than the other. The Nacul study is much more likely to give...
This is the reason why when I first heard of CBT for ME it seemed to me to be directly in conflict with the principles of psychiatry. Psychiatry...
Looking at Google, nothing much, except that it is a place on the Danube.
Perhaps the science colleagues will be primed to tell Frances Ryan that she should not be teasing the famous Dr Sharpe.

I am very familiar with this sort of half-joking chat from medical colleagues who think they belong to the gold-plated establishments. The...
[ATTACH] What this? Jo Cambridge never touches anything as dilute as that!

No ideas I am afraid. I didn't get to the conference. Goodness knows what the researchers have been agreeing about but it cannot be bad if people...
I think not. Secondary gain is a term of art relating to 'subconscious motivation' in hysteria. It is specifically not malingering. As the...
Oh, really?
Indeed. Much of this is about an already existing deep divide within psychiatry between the Feudian psychotherapy tradition and the biomedical...
Exactly as in the UK. What they do not seem to understand is that this is not just bad care, but it is almost certainly much more expensive...
I think this is probably not quite right. As I said before, malingering means deliberately pretending to be ill when you do not believe you are...
No and no. I think people forget just how much essential work is done by psychiatrists day in day out for people with terrible long term illnesses...
This seems like fake news to me. The problem mentioned is that researchers are not applying. So it is not the fault of NIH. If there is a problem...
CIBA renamed itself Novartis some time around 1985-2000 - I forget exactly when.
Separate names with a comma.
