Nina Steinkopf has written about the studies by the author (Stiles) responsible for the correction due to his COI at NTNU's own news site Universitetsavisa, with a focus on the thread's study as it is the only one of many where a correction has been done. She also points out that is is not ethical that 2. year students should treat patients when patients are told a psychologist will be the one doing the treatment.
Uredelig forskning på sårbare pasienter
Fraudulent research on vulnerable patients
She got a reply from the head of the psychology department who disagree with calling the research done unethical, and he thinks it is bad of Universitetsavisa to publish Steinkopf's misconceptions such as Stiles having an economical conflict of interest.
Feilaktige påstander om uredelighet i forskning
False allegations of research misconduct
Steinkopf wrote a reply where she among other things points out the 100+ million Norwegian kroners Stiles' Coperio rehab centre has received to treat patients (not just pwME).

- That Flaten does not see the seriousness is just sad
