Halp. Looking for a resource on this? I'll start the hunt through Phoenix Rising, but if someone has it handy, I'd really appreciate it.

I came across another German BPS proponent, Dr. Wolfgang Hausotter. Mr. Hausotter has written several "guidelines" for assessments, including CFS. Here is an abstract of one of these "guidelines", published in the Versicherungszeitschrift (insurance journal)...
