    Welcome @Docsimsim .
    I read your paper via PR last year -from the mother if a teenager affected it was much appreciated.

    I think at the time i commented that cbt was deployed on the same basis that French is still the main second language taught in schools- not because it is remotely of any use, but because we have lots of people trained to teach it.

    Sadly it looks as though we are heading towards extending the infrastructure and staff to deal with lots of other relabelled illnesses too - especially sad when recent research questions the efficacy of standard cbt ( not even the special kind ) .

    It' s a bit like Stalin renaming towns in a revisionist historical stance.
    Sadly i think psychology is heading the same way as phrenology...

    Hi @Docsimsim, welcome to the forum. Thank you for you excellent papers that help in the fight against the BPS travesty of science that does so much harm.

    It's great to have more good scientists joining us. I am sorry that you are so sick. Let's hope the good biomedical science find something to help us all soon.

    Thank you, yes I agree on your analogy re CBTese and French as second language. Really sorry to hear that your teenage daughter has ME. Sending you my best wishes and a virtual hug to your daughter too xx

    My daughter has been having weekly CBT for over 6 months. It's been great for her to have that support where so little is available from elsewhere, but it's had zero effect on her illness.

    If you have a good therapist it can be good at confidence building and validation. Unfortunately our experience at CAMHS after bullying ( pre ME) was pretty awful.
