Low intensity therapists deliver Devon's BA.......Behavioural Activation therapy.
Ha ha....I took part in a 'study' a few years ago led by Kate Rimes ( the above author). It was to test the effect of Mindfulness on CFS..... Lots of rating your 'fatigue'.....1 to 10.
At the first session we had to see how many times we could stand up and sit down in a minute. At the end of the course...we repeated the test. I suppose this was a crude way of judging the effect of the trial. I remember thinking 'how unscientific'.....and that was in the early days of gullibility.

METHODS:
IAPT practitioners (N = 201) completed an on-line survey measuring time spent per week on different types of work related activity. These were investigated as predictors of burnout (measured using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory).
FFS why do they get to reduce workload?Our results suggest a high prevalence of burnout among IAPT practitioners. Strategies to reduce burnout among PWPs involving reductions in workload
Surely they need Graded Workload Therapy to correct their false burnout beliefs?
I revise my prediction: soon 33.3% of the population of England will be delivering IAPT to the 33.3% deemed in need of it, while the remaining 33.3% are publishing research papers on the back of it or counseling IAPT therapists identified as suffering from burnout as a result of delivering it.
