In Croatia, the land of chronic fatigue = psychosis heh
But yeah, why I'm pushing the idea is because while we have countries whose establishment follows the cfs=psysomatic regime (and we will have them for a while longer), it is of benefit for them to at least have relevant research pointing to effective methods of supportive therapy.
I see what you mean. However, I am in the UK and have been ill for about 2 decades now. I have learned that the guise of "helping" and being "supportive" can be used to con folk and twist the narrative.
Take CBT for example: originally it was used in the supportive way. Then it's meaning became twisted before or around the time of the PACE trial. It became a stick to beat sick patients with. No longer supportive but now addressing false illness beliefs.
There is a wealth of info on PR about how low the standards in psych research are, how the names of things are twisted, etc...
We have seen that the likes of Chalder are taking their show on the road into Eastern European countries. It is very easy to subvert your reasonable wish for effective methods of supportive therapy to be subverted.
