I just came across the following:

I never knew she was an OT by training.
Don’t know whether it is editable or not.

Rona Moss-Morris is Head of Health Psychology and Chair in Psychology as Applied to Medicine at the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London.[1] Her research investigates long-term, medically unexplained disorders such as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

In 2006, Rona moved again, this time to the University of Southampton in the UK and was made Professor of Health Psychology in 2007. Here she researched, amongst other topics, the links between chronic illness and personality factors (for example the link between IBS and perfectionism[5]).

She is currently a professor at the Institute of Psychiatry in South London, where she joined the Department of Psychology in 2011.

She's been a stalwart of the BPS group, and involved with some of the nastier research attempting to blame people's physical symptoms on their faulty personalities (or the faulty personalities of their parents).

In my opinion, any clinic or research project that she is involved with should be avoided like the plague.

Yeah, incredibly patronising and deluded. Reminding people that it's possible to downvote the You tube video.

I assumed the videos were collated in that channel for reference, rather than promoting the BPS agenda. The channel owner looks to have gone to lengths to avoid automated copyright takedowns by overlaying unrelated graphics and "Max Headrooming" the audio.

It's cute when they borrow expressions used by people who actually do stuff.

More like rusty wooden knife edge.
