Ditto.I didn't think that this did a good job of exploring the issues, even though it's always good to see criticism of PACE's spin on recovery
Eventually. At first they typically start the search for a rapid fix or recovery. Its hard to come to grips with a low chance of recovery.Patients do accept that they have "a serious, chronic, and systemic disease that frequently and dramatically limits the activities of affected patients". They just don't think that a psychologist is able to help with that.
The inappropriate calculation of SD on the wrong population group leading to an SF36PF "normal value" should have been mentioned. Its a major flaw in their claim to recovery, and maybe worse.In his article he does include many of the criticisms of CBT and PACE that we know, but they are expressed in a milder, possible what might be thought of as a more professional or academic, language .
I have no problem with CBT as a tool for improving patient capacity to manage illness, should the patient be willing and able to participate. However the "CBT" used in PACE, for example, is very different with the same name.
