@Medfeb you expressed interest in any financial imperative to this new approach. The conclusion to Cott's paper is perhaps enlightening. This chapter has attempted to illustrate three main points. First, that illness, as opposed to disease, is a significant health-care problem and that often...

I'm not sure they needed to update anything in the US. They already had the Imboden Canter Cluff model which Imboden called "conversion reaction". Plus ca change...

There seems to be a general failure to attribute or cite sources. The reason is unclear. In the UK we know about the influence of Gordon Waddell on the BPS school, with his ideas influencing Aylward. Exercise is good for lower back pain. And seemingly for everything else too. From memory Waddell...

Don't they know what happens to people who perform miracles?

No it isn't. It is a physical constraint upon the capacity for further exertion. I know you know that.

Now I get it. He likes obeying orders does he?

What is military style training anyway? Presumably the exercise regimen for the Parachute regiment is vastly different to that for recruits to the transport corps.

Yes. I knew about Shelokov and Henderson, but all seemed to go quiet after 1959 when the Imboden , Canter,9 Cluff model seemed to become dominant.

Ware appears to have also been involved in development of the Mental Health Inventory-38 (MHI-38) published in 1983. mental_health_inventory.pdf (amhocn.org)

Can anyone explain what "evidence synthesis" might be. One understands the dialectical method and progression from thesis, via antithesis to synthesis. But that is not synthesis of the evidence.

The discovery about Dr Ware led me to look into the other three referred to who did not make it into the print edition. They were drr D Meichenbaum of University of Waterloo and Dr V Neufeld of McMaster, about whom I could see nothing which might concern us. However Dr Allan Detsky of Toronto is...

A couple of (fairly) interesting points arise from rereading the Preface. It seems that some texts were not included in the book. One was by Dr J Ware of the Rand Corporation. Googling suggests he might have been involved in creation or development of the SF 36. Presumably aspects of commercial...

@Medfeb There are a number of papers in the 1980/84 period expressing concern over the impact of health costs. From memory Cluff and Eisenberg wrote on the subject but I think I have lost the references. There was certainly concern over the possibility of three potential or actual epidemics. I...

It was The 2nd International Conference on Illness Behaviour. The proceedings were described in Illness Behaviour-a multidisciplinary model by McHugh and Vallis, published in 1986. The 1st conference had been in Adelaide, academic home of Pilowsky, in1984. The model has to be unravelled from...

I have sometimes wondered whether this is why a model, first more or less fully described in Toronto in 1985, at a conference mainly involving US participants, came to be operationalised in the UK.

Interesting that that list does not include paresthesiae. We know of at least one case who reported them. Was that the sole case?

Is PG getting his retaliation in first, by suggesting that people are conflicted? Is he thinking so far ahead in the game? It certainly appears that someone might be.

SW admitted to having been an advisor in about 2001. It was claimed that it was unpaid.

We never did manage to quite get the full story of someone else's association with Prisma. I think he claimed it was overstated.
