Really wierd how she keeps referring to what children like and don't like as an excuse for her disgraceful methods. How can anyone she says this to not scream "What the fuck are you talking about?" at her? Kids designing trials? What? EDIT: And then offer her a leg and say "Pull the other one...

It's British psychaitrists he doesn't like, so our interests as M.E. sufferers sometimes coincide with his. But if you ever criticize a North American psychiatrist (or Canadian social historian with an interest in psychosomatic medicine actually) such as Edward Shorter who's responsible for...

For those who like this sort of thing. Psychological Bulletin 1971. Couldn't find a cleaner copy than this: http://stats.org.uk/statistical-inference/TverskyKahneman1971.pdf

How very rude. I wonder if, outside, he untethered his horse and rode off into the sunset.

Fabulous.

When my oldest son was 8 he was only one of 2 children in his class of 24 who didn't have a playstation, X-box, gameboy or some other gaming console. In a moment of weakness I ordered the new playstation 3 from amazon, and as an afterthought added a book called "Playstation Nation" at checkout...

Interesting. Very moist.

Yes hopefully the children asked will remember to include that on their questionnaires.

Hi and welcome :)

WTF? Can't we just call recovery getting better, cured, life back, instead of asking a bunch of (probably mis-diagnosed if Fingers Crawley is involved) kids? Then again, a group of children couldn't possibly come up with a more ridiculous definition of recovery than the PACE authors, so why not...

On the one hand, good for him. On the other hand, yet another inspiring story for people who like saying "look, if he can do it ... " to wrap up with generic positivity advice and throw at you. But good for him. And her of course.

Yup.

This looks rather ridiculous to me. The authors have failed to consider other factors which result in stigma towards M.E. sufferers, ie the attitudes and activities of the BPS brigade, the media, insurance companies, benefits assessors, doctors etc etc. The only factor they have chosen to look...

I was actually heartened when I saw the title of this thread and thought "Oh good, what a perfect venue to discuss the shenanigans and disgraceful behaviour of EC. Oh well :( Establishing herself as a pillar of ethics and morality in the hope that it will help as her machinations become more...

Glad to see this issue getting a bit of publicity.

duty of confidentiality ;) Hope you don't mind, it's the English teacher in me.

Well when David Tuller turns up with some polite questions that is a meeting. Asking him to leave and threatening him with the police is how not to move forward. Oh, sorry, just realised, the "we" in that sentence is how can the BPS crew and Fingers Crawley continue to move forward. You can't...

I think "Fingers Crawley" has a certain ring to it. "Chronic fatigue" counts as an infectious disease because it can be transmitted amongst a patient population via the mechanism of mass hysteria. It therefore falls within Fingers Crawley's area of expertise.

I would speculate in that direction too. The more financially secure you are the easier it is to lie on your sofa all day and arrange your world to suit you and your need to pace without having to do things that would make you crash or worsen your level of severity long term.

That's why we still need the National Elf Service. Demonstrating that when it comes down to it, all he's got is name-calling. Arrogance, ignorance, annoying, dumb, yeah yeah yeah. Returning to matters of substance, could you please explain ...
