Violation of the Dutch Code of Ethics for Psychologists with current CFS guideline
Date: 25 August 2023
Authors: M. Bloks (General Health Psychologist, not practicing because of ME/CFS). In association with: B. Khouri (General Health Psychologist)

Scientific understanding of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) has changed and given rise to an essential paradigm shift.
We observe that this shift has, at present, not reached the Dutch CFS guideline and, subsequently, the fields of work of medics and allied health professions, including psychologists.
A new guideline for adults is in development but completion has been postponed to 1 May 2026 at the latest.
No revision of the guideline for children has been announced.
This is concerning because new insights make plausible that an essential segment of the patient population currently subsumed under the CFS umbrella is at risk of harm by professional adherence to the current (dated) CFS guideline
