Wessely avoids precision at all costs, so you'll be very lucky to get a clear answer to that. The difference between the sausage machine and proper CBT is [insert self-deprecating bonhomie smokescreen here].

Well if we're trading anecdotes, there are women doctors around who can be thoroughly unpleasant to male patients. Not something I've experienced for a while, but when younger I noticed that occasionally a middle-aged woman doctor (perhaps sadly let down by men in her private life, who knows?)...

You're right, ridiculous concept. Esther would never agree to it.

Is it just me who finds that funny?

I don't suppose there's any chance of a control group where what the chronic illness sufferers say is taken at face value?

I misread the thread title as "psychonumerology" and only registered mild surprise.

Victoria Derbyshire has always been very good to us. EDIT: And that other guy on the radio, can't remember his name.

I agree that talk of genes should not be shut out by political correctness. But it should be taken with a very cautious pinch of salt when being applied to a concept like "intelligence", which we are fairly rubbish at defining and measuring (fill in this questionnaire, we'll turn it into a...

I don't see why. All you have to do is pass us some questionnaires, get us to assign numerical values to how much harm exercise causes us, and there's your evidence. For the giggling psychologists to demand a higher standard of evidence than that would be pure hypocrisy.

My wife used to get behind me and push when I was walking, especially if going up an incline or up the stairs. I've just realised that she hasn't done that for a long time, so I must be improving. I occasionally go for a short walk if I feel up to it, not for exercise, but because after a...

From the BBC website. This story contains a lot of familiar elements: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-50715156 If this kind of story becomes a thing, we've got the ultimate example for any journalist who's interested ...

This is a better article: https://www.planetski.eu/news/12288 I wish him well, of course. It's the journalist of the first article that really annoyed me by finishing it with that inspirobabble paragraph at the end.

Predictably:

To tell us anything at all they should compare it with giving the children beer and crisps.

take offence ... insulting ... bullied ... arrogant ... hmm.

Yes, it is. Is someone claiming that it isn't?

If it means turning up at a vet's in a gorilla suit I think it might be worth a shot, I'd probably get taken more seriously.

I'm not sure looking at the number of lawsuits, or the number of won lawsuits, is that helpful. If we judged the BPS brigade on the number of lawsuits brought and won against them by dissatisfied patients, we'd all be queuing up for CBT and GET. The interesting thing about these reports of law...

Classy news outlet he's chosen to announce it in this time. If that's the only place he can get his resignation announcements published now I find it most encouraging. Next to a study showing that marijuana gives women better orgasms, and stories about a vicar getting caught having affairs with...
