Well that was an excellent interview. Very well done to SC, professional, real, succinct, direct & i particularly liked the emphatic tone. very good thank you. Thank you also to John Darvall, very well conducted interview

haha brilliant :D heres mine... My work explores the relationship between Jungian archetypes and skateboard ethics. With influences as diverse as Kafka and Frida Kahlo, new variations are generated from both mundane and transcendant textures. Ever since I was a postgraduate I have been...

I only read the abstract so cant comment on the full paper, but the abstract reminds me of some contemporary artists' 'Artist Statements'. http://www.thecollectorsartist.com/pretentious-artists-statements-why-we-write-them/ https://artybollocks.com/#abg_full When people use unnecessary...

@Sly Saint @NelliePledge :D:laugh: those really made me laugh, i needed that thank you.

we appear to be having a similar discussion on 2 diff threads which confuses me, so i'll try & make this my last comment here as it not really on topic anyway.... Yes, i see what you're saying. But I don't think it's necessarily the case that all psychological ideas can be traced back to Freud...

Ah, yes i see what you mean, thank you for explaining. I detest Freudian theory, he did make it up as he went along and was basically a perv obsessed with sex iyam. But that doesn't mean that all ideas, philosophies, methods that have developed since him are automatically poor or harmful just...

Personally i think the main problem with psychiatry, and some of psychology/psychologists too, is afaiaa, unlike a degree in say Humanistic Psychotherapy, there is no requirement that you have had any kind of psychotherapy yourself, (and by psychotherapy here i mean relationship based, self...

I couldn't agree more

Apologies if i'm being dense @Jonathan Edwards? But I'm not sure what you mean by this, could you pls clarify/expand/give examples?

thats interesting, because for me thats exactly the same 'voice' agreed. Which is why, imo the CBT for ME al la Chalder, is so utterly crazy-making & abusive, convincing people that their reality is self destructive when it is in fact self protective..

I agree that well meaning but manipulatory psychotherapy by therapists with an agenda, poor self awareness & poor ethics can be very dangerous, but i think thats the case in any field of therapy. 'inner voice' in some ways is an unfortunate term because it sounds a bit 'woowoo', but I think...

well none of that comes as a surprise to us does it. In a perverse way it's somewhat of a relief to me (in this moment) that its going on all over, rather than just in the BPS CFS world.

They seem to not know the difference between FND & ME, they list them all as the same thing & yet repeatedly use the word 'and' when describing them - ie "FND and ME". so, do they believe they are the same thing, or different. I agree with @adambeyoncelowe it looks like astroturfing. Or...

Regarding the article in the OP... unless the control group is made up of people who have another disease, i dont care which, but any chronic disease (pref neuro/autoimmune), then the results of studies into adverse life events & their correlation/association with any disease/condition are...

sorry that post was off topic... just to say i look forward to what David has to say about it all & what comes out of his Aussie trip too :thumbup:

hahaha @Forbin thats brilliant I havent heard that for years :laugh: The first verse is so apt :sneaky: "the madness takes it's toll"...."not for very much longer".... "i've got to keep control" For the benefit of RHPS uninitiated

I'm concerned about this too

interesting related article here about pain beginning differently at a cellular level in men & women - research only made happen due to NIH's new policy described in original article (in the OP)...

Thats actually a really good brief, succinct overview of the situation, and gratifying to think we can do a massive class action suit in the yrs to come. But @TiredSam & @Andy...if someone does contact him, i think it'd also be a good idea to make him aware that the NICE guideline was not...

well.... I dont know what to think really, but one thing i feel sure of & that is that EC would not be leaving a position of status & influence if it werent to go to a position of higher status & influence, so i'm actually rather troubled by what she will do next. Worrying for the children of...
