Precisely. Especially by the subtly abusive. It is a way of deflecting the notion that they themselves could be guilty of such things. I sometimes wonder if it is a form of self denial - actually convincing themselves of their own deceptions.Accusing your opponent of doing what you do yourself is an old trick that the PACE authors keep using.
'Meta-ethnography is a method for combining data from qualitative evaluation and research, especially ethnographic data, by translating concepts and metaphors across studies'
So not science then.
caption competition?
People age out of Bath at 18 whether improving or not. Does EC do any follow up studies?
This is part of the reason for the stats about recovery. I believe there are many more that don't recover but drop out of view either because moved out of pediatric services or leave or are pushed out because not improving as expected under the increase regime. Glad you found this thread- did you listen without feeling nauseous?
I think this is quickly becoming my favourite meme to use as it applies to all those BPS believers, and that includes Crawley.I always get this sense that you have to be a 'believer' to get better under EC! Perhaps that's too harsh?? I think as soon as you start to question what's going on (or not!) then she sees you as a lost cause. You are somehow not willing to unconditionally commit to the program so therefore you will of course 'fail'... ..
Bath push school attendance as that is 'normal' but there is nothing normal about the way people's minds/bodies work with this illness so I think this is trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
It is measureable but others have pointed out in the past that sometimes school attendance comes at the expense of managing to do the work. So children may increase hours but not do as well than with less but higher quality hours.An additional problem is school attendance is used as a measure of improvement (as it is 'measurable'!) not health per se.
I have heard that after a while parents just tell the service what is necessary to keep them happy and learn what helps themselves.I always get this sense that you have to be a 'believer' to get better under EC! Perhaps that's too harsh??
What was being inaugurated???
What was being inaugurated???
It was Crawley's inaugural lecture on being made a professor.
In this talk, the introduction mentioned how open and rigorous the assessment for being a professor is. Has any imformation about how Crawley was assessed been made public?
But she gives it really "cool" names like smile and FITNET so that's the main thingFor people like Prof Crawley the quality of work is virtually irrelevant - it's all about empire building. It was clear from her talk, no real science in there and no solid foundation to her claims. Wessely and the rest of the BPS gang are the same, we see it over and over.
