CBT-resistance

Because of course, it's always a problem coming from patients resisting therapy, and never an issue of unadapted or inefficient treatment...

resistance is futile

ME/CFS patients are certainly CBT resistant. Mostly because it doesn't work for this condition.

And by 'mostly', I mean entirely.

Barcelona in the spring, sounds lovely.

I wonder whether anyone relevant would like to attend? @Brian Hughes

They are not interested in knowing that treatment resistance is because the treatments are based on flawed theories which is why they work poorly.
If the real cause of ulcers had not been determined not so long ago they would be talking about its treatment resistance...

I hope someone will attend and record it.

Could it be that the concept of the conference is a bit muddled or is it my understanding of the distinct meanings of "treatment resistance" which is muddled?

Some parts of the programm seem to me to address "treatment resistance" rather in the sense of a failure to respond to treatment, not in the sense of patients' refusal to receive a recommended treatment?

Barcelona sounds lovely, the conference proceedings less so...

Just like those darn diabetic patients so resistant to sugar. They will sometimes literally refuse to take any! Why don't they just enjoy it like the rest of us normies?!
