    Wider collateral damage to children in the UK because of the social distancing [...] COVID-19, 2020, Crawley et al. And other papers by Crawley et al

    Viruses don't care about their host's mental health. Failure to achieve elimination/eradication is going to be far more damaging to everybody's mental health.

    Cognitive behavioural therapy for adults with dissociative seizures (CODES): a ... multicentre, randomised controlled trial (2020) Goldstein, Chalder

    Which is why the rest of medicine and science need to pay very close attention to what the likes of Chalder are getting away with, and stop it.

    Independent advisory group for the full update of the Cochrane review on exercise therapy and ME/CFS (2020), led by Hilda Bastian

    It really is one of the most disturbing failures in the history of modern medicine, and it is not over yet by a long shot. Sometimes there is no middle ground.

    In progress: A systematic review & meta analysis of the incidence of, and risk markers for, [CFS] and [ME] in population studies, 2020, White

    And vice-versa. If your life has gone well, then you might tend to downplay or even forget past troubles. This is a huge problem with these post-hoc studies.

    Impact of symptom focusing and somatosensory amplification on persistent physical symptoms: A three-year follow-up study, 2020, Barends et al

    Short Version: Symptoms getting worse are due to you paying attention to them. I'll pass that onto my friend with end stage bowel cancer, whose symptoms were repeatedly dismissed by doctors until it was too late for effective treatment. Oh wait, she already died. Must have been her fault for...

    Primary care providers' use of and attitudes towards placebos: An exploratory focus group study with US physicians, 2020, Bernstein et al

    Any doctor who uses placebo on me without my informed consent will be sacked the instant I find out about it, and a formal complaint made to the relevant medical licencing body (for what that is worth). It is a lazy, arrogant, corrupt, and cruel abuse of medical authority.

    Cognitive behavioural therapy for adults with dissociative seizures (CODES): a ... multicentre, randomised controlled trial (2020) Goldstein, Chalder

    Welcome to the wonderful world of the Wessley School's modus operandi, where methods and results are whatever they want them to be. Fun, isn't it. :banghead: Thanks for your interest on this stuff, @Joan Crawford. Hope you don't get too discouraged by it. A large part of their decades long...

    News about Long Covid including its relationship to ME/CFS 2020 to 2021

    I watched it. Pretty good overall, and allowance does need to made for this issue being very much a work in progress. He is somebody to keep onside and even reach out to. COVID19 might be an opening for the BPS school, but it is also an opening for their critics.

    Caroline Struthers' correspondence and blog on the Cochrane Review: 'Exercise therapy for chronic fatigue syndrome, 2017 and 2019, Larun et al.

    Using and reporting objective outcomes is only half the story. They have to be taken fully into account, not ignored, downplayed, misrepresented, and then finally claimed to be irrelevant anyway.

    Independent advisory group for the full update of the Cochrane review on exercise therapy and ME/CFS (2020), led by Hilda Bastian

    I didn't mean psychologists specifically, more the broader psychology/psychiatry world. The problem seems to originate from, or be mostly found in, psychology/psychiatry. Anywhere you find this problem, there are usually psychs somewhere in the picture. I doubt you would see it often in...
