Does anyone know anything about getting this funded — a proposal in the works, for example?
Yes, I looked up the author and she is a PhD student. Her co-authors — some of whom will likely be her PhD supervisors — should be making sure the...

I have a feeling this review will be instrumental in pushing CBT/'rehab' programmes into the future. The review is terrible, and I'm not saying...
I don't know if this is a new initiative or not. They seem to have lots of signatures already. Anyone know?
