I think that it may be relevant to think of the silencing, as perceived by PACE authors and colleagues, going on within medicine itself. Viz:...
I think this is revealing: I am aware of the importance of this debate, in the general field of psychology, and I believe that, rather than facing...
In short: GPs are not much cop at telling patients they have a BPS illness. (Us with blue cardigans do it much better of course.)
I thought someone had said it is now called Finktional Disorder
That is worth knowing. It does not surprise me. The question now is whether or not there is justification for looking at this more, in the UK for...
The defensiveness continues to show. I can understand the worry if your department employs lots of people who may find themselves redundant, but...

I am amused by this bit: Reuters contacted a dozen professors, doctors and researchers with experience of analyzing or testing potential...
That isn't quite what I mean. What I mean is 'can we articulate a cohesive candidate description of how all these systems might be interacting and...

And this makes Wessely look a complete twerp: Simon Wessely, a professor of psychological medicine at King’s College London and former president...
I have to admit to having my impression coloured by, er, some past context like @Esther12. But looking at this as if I was a medical colleague I...
I think this quote is interesting in the way it illustrates the completely bogus nature of 'qualifications' for these therapist-delivered...
I think the problem is that we don't have any reason to say that. I don't think even any of the papers counting proportions of 'MUS' (in capitals...
I understood all that perfectly, Diane. But that wasn't my point. The fact that the BPS camp is dealing with 'MUS' in an unscientific and harmful...
Well done JTJ.
