In all these approaches I continue to ask how they separate patients with symptoms that will later be validated as serious organic disease like cancer. The answer appears to be that this is someone else's problem, a great way of making things invisible.
Forgetting, for the moment, those of us who don't die on a short schedule, what about the numerous people who do have cancer that can go untreated for a year or two as a result of this approach? These proponents appear to be saying those lives are not worth the inconvenience to doctors of early detection.
If they need examples of people with serious medical conditions ignored as a result of psychologizing their illness, we can supply them. Illnesses of indisputable validity include ovarian cancer, testicular cancer, small-cell lung cancer, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, B-cell leukemia, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune hepatitis, idiopathic myocarditis, etc.
