The PACE trial should be a lesson for all researchers doing controversial research - be open with your data from the start - publish all the facts and figures you claimed you would, so that this kind of controversy doesn't happen. Openly engage early with those who are criticising the research, try to see their point of view and try to be helpful and bridge the gap, not dismissive as these people have done.
Unfortunately, the trend towards lack of openness and discussion between psychiatrists in the UK and patients in the UK had already started before the PACE trial even begun. The gap can be bridged, but it looks like it will take a change of attitude and a lot of work if it were to happen.
