I hope the CBT/GET proponents will make the mistake of agreeing to a public debate. A good speaker aware of all the facts and problems with the research could easily destroy them.

I think even someone with my level of awareness would be able to drive home the point that they have nothing. Open label trials, only questionnaire data, whole point of trial is to change peoples questionnaire writing behaviour which they do but don't anymore on ltfu. No objective improvement. Independent surveys show lot's of harm from GET. I think that should be our mantra.
