    Both of which would still be listed as FND had it been more difficult to find objective evidence. Adding yet more evidence of a category error, the error being the creation of an arbitrary and illusionary category based on superficial misunderstanding.

    Meanwhile the literature on FND and discussion among peers remain very blunt in defining this category as equivalent to conversion disorder, hysteria and other typical category errors. Same. But different. But still same.

    Why would a paper be restricted for two years?

    It's a PhD thesis, not a paper. I assume the University has rules that the whole thesis can't be accessed until the author has had time to get some papers published on the research.

    Apparently, psychobabble slightly different from other types of psychobabble and also totally not the thing Eysenck was talking about it's just a coincidence that he thought the same thing!
    I guess that must be mindfulness, or something like it.

    It's not magic, it's just indistinguishable from it. There is no spoon, only sporks.

    :rofl: Brilliant - so 'success' is getting people to use their colouring books every day; it's now besides the point whether that makes them feel any better.

    So sort of what was happening before, but without the bother of trying to prove that the interventions actually help.

    I have no idea but I wonder if the creators of the new-fangled methods in delivering psychological therapies understand that they are drifting ever closer to rather oppressive forms of social engineering?

    Under the guise of helping. Always the irony with this lot.

    It pretty much exactly reads like putting a band-aid and ignoring the cause entirely. Given this, giving people free drugs, the recreative kind, would actually produce better results. They may be just as sick, but they'd definitely be thinking happy thoughts.

    Absurd that this is the very thing these people will denounce about most medical care, failing to understand that it's because medicine is almost entirely focused on acute care and has neglected chronic illness for too long. So as a solution they propose more of the thing they denounce, just worse, more expensive, more insulting and way less effective.

    Adopting the language of alternative medicine, "holistic" and all that, without actually believing it surprisingly does not solve anything, it merely blends the worst of both in a package where everyone ends up worse off while costing more money.

    At some point maybe they'll listen to the patients instead, the actual substance of what we say, rather than treat us as whiny noise. But I think it's more likely that it will be forced into practice instead. Hindsight will validate that choice anyway.
