You can always tell when a BPS-proponent is not even trying to understand the criticism against psychological therapies, and is just looking for ways to make patients who disagree with them look like irrational, uneducated idiots. This statement is a good example of that. While I disagree with...

Question: Has anybody looked into publication bias in regards to the evidence base for CBT or GET for ME? I read somewhere that in clinical psychology when they appraise the evidence base for CBT for depression, they control for publication bias. (They control for the fact that a lot of studies...

Found some info about the nature of Egil Fors involvement in the Lightning Process study from the project documents. Translated to English through Google from Norwegian it says: "Co-supervisors at NTNU are Associate Professor Mons Bendixen at the Department of Psychology at Faculty of Social...

Have tried NAC for a few months now, and don't think it has much effect on my ME either. Felt something in the beginning, but it might have been placebo. Or the body simply adjusted to the supplement and it stopped working. Don't know.

Just finished seeing this and it's really, really good. It's a long watch, but absolutely undoubtably worth it. I've known about these things going on for quite some time, but seeing them systematized and presented in a coherent framework is pretty shocking. I'm wondering what will happen to the...
