Exactly right. And I think I touched on a lot of this with expectation bias and the like, but didn't want to go into even more detail on that...
In brief: there was a lot of pressure from people outside the committee, and that included pressuring their own colleagues to 'get it right' in...
Psychoanalysis is very dated. DBT is also what they use to treat borderline personality disorder. Seems like they're making it all up as they go...
Things to add to a longer version: Cochrane weaknesses (and irrelevance) "We actually used an untested version of GET we made up, not the version...
In the meetings, I said this too. At one point people were saying, "GET has evolved from the trials. We do it differently now." To which I pointed...
More likely, this will be for the mass-market paperback. Usually, publishers do hardback or trade paperback (bigger format), then the mass market...
Of course. But also, please encourage people to vote it as helpful on Amazon, as that pushes the review to the top so that potential book-buyers...
Thank you. It's there now, for the record, so people can quote me if needed. If I can, I'll get it all written up somewhere more formally (I know...
Yes, this is their modus operandi. They can't win actual debates where people get to put their own thoughts across in response, so they rely on...
Here's my review of Fiona Fox's book. Please rate it as helpful if you think it provides extra context:...
I think the Countess of Marr and Carol Monaghan MP would be able to claim defamation. We, as a community, sadly, would not. However, it would be...
Besides all of the above (very valid) reasons, I also just find it highly unethical that "functional" is used to mean different things when...
PEM reduced to PEF again, I see! More proof these people don't understand LC or ME. I think the contradictions Trish notes are because the GL was...
I'm cautious. Obviously, the Nakatomi paper used PET to find glial activation in ME, so this feels like a logical finding for LC, but this is...
Exactly. This is how they operate. Don't debate it honestly, where you have to justify yourself in front of others. Just send a bunch of emails...
This is about the resignations. The guideline was signed off by all members before the resignations occurred. Each section was signed off over a...
Can't they use ME as a control/comparison group? See if the two illnesses work differently?
Yeah, so this is supposed to be about people delivering supportive CBT having actual expertise in ME, and knowing how ME requires a different...
Is the language in the book as terrible as the excerpts shared, or is it due to copy and paste errors? That first quoted section has no...
The problem is, there are a thousand doctors out there (many of them quacks) claiming the same thing about their favoured drug of choice --...
