Notice of the upcoming European Association for Psychosomatic Medicine (EAPM 2016) conference in Luleå, Sweden was shared by @Denise in the discussion section of another thread ---> http://forums.phoenixrising.me/inde...rapy-guided-self-help-treatment-getset.44749/
Just thought I'd highlight it in a separate thread to better ensure that PR's Scandinavian members, especially, would be aware...
Conference organizer: Ursula Werneke of Umeå University. Conference attended/endorsed by Ullakarin Nyberg, Vice President Swedish Psychiatric Association. Speakers include May Blom, who participated in Fokusrapport--Kroniskt Trötthetssyndrom (2009)* -- the primary, fraudulent text used to deny care, insurance and disability assistance to people with ME in Sweden.

(Peter White -- also reported to be part of this conference -- was interviewed by Blom and others for the above-linked Fokusrapport, according to the above-linked Fokusrapport (p. 15). To my knowledge, no conflicts of interest were reported in the Fokusrapport. Compare Coyne's report on White conflicts of interest, http://web.archive.org/web/20160522...rventions-for-medically-unexplained-symptoms/
And White is a colleague too of Fink? http://web.archive.org/web/20160522.../04/karina-hansen-4-timeline-torture-tragedy/

Additional conference speakers include: Per Fink (http://justiceforkarina.webs.com/),
Michael Sharpe [PACE investigator] will be teaching a class on "How to succeed in clinical research". By attending, you will "Understand different study designs" and "Gain tips on writing up your results for publication". [How can this be real??!!],
Simon Wessely... "I have received a speakers fee from Janssen for a non promotional talk on psychological management of chronic fatigue syndrome."
Conference partners include Lundbeck -- accused (by Danish physician Stig Gerdes) of conflict-of-interests with Per Fink, http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/press-release-from-rebecca-hansen.29011/page-2#post-508084
[Edit: Karina Hansen was forcefully taken in 2013. This same year the Lundbeck Foundation donated DDK 11.5 million to Fink's project to research "Functional Somatic Syndromes". Lundbeck names CFS as one of the FSS to be studied. Lundbeck: "About 5 % of the Danish population suffers from FSS accounting for 10-20 % of the health care expenses."
