If a widely prescribed drug had been shown to be useless (and was additionally known to cause harm) then it would be withdrawn overnight. This does, and has happened. If, in addition the marketing of said drug was given a boost by a corrupt and fraudulent study then the perpetrators would be called to account by the authorities.
What is the reason for the dragging of feet on throwing out the PACE/GET/CBT/BPS/MAGENTA alphabet soup of lies, stupidity and vested interests ? No reason if we're going on facts, patient experience and proper data analysis. But we're dealing with the politics of the thing, and what is most worrying is that those in authority (NICE, government, NHS etc) already know damn well that CBT/GET is no good, and that the PACE trail was rigged. And yet they kept pushing it, and still will as long as they can get away with it.
