The great Graham McPhee (@Graham) passed away yesterday.

He was an exemplary citizen-scientist who helped expose problems with the PACE trial and co-authored a paper on the insufficient monitoring of harm in CBT/GET clinics.

He was also an all-around good guy liked by all.

We've written a letter to NICE,
I do hope they'll take our advice;
The evidence plainly
Shows CBT mainly
Helps those who are getting their slice

Of fees from insurance concerns,
And profits from CBT firms;
But patients, meanwhile,
Are led up the aisle!
False treatments bring harmful returns.
