seems about right!!!

Actually, the study didn't use the word "reverse"--that was the headline of the Mirror story. But the study indicate these were substantive results. It seems to me they were generally modest results, and likely influenced by the inherent bias, and not clinically meaningful at 6 months.

Nope. No idea. He's obviously changed his mind.

I think that is in the Trump-verse?? That sort of think is totally kosher there.

In his "gotcha" comment, Zachary Grin wrote: "The journal does not need to issue a correction. You need to correct your misunderstanding. There is no way for you to twist this one." Oops! The journal and the authors apparently disagreed with Zachary. Nice try, Zachary!!!

I think George has a lot of things to work on, and a lot of issues that need his attention, unfortunately...

yea, I was surprised--I sent the letter to the editor just as a complaint--not for publication. They invited me to submit it formally as a letter, so I did. I often don't even bother with that step because the problems are so obvious I want the editor to deal with it--not debate it with the authors.

I understand why it's difficult--because then they'd be asked to promote everybody who wants to raise money. same with other charities. I am also reluctant to promote other fundraising things, for similar reasons.

Oh, they do?? That's a change. Good to know!!

thanks, Andrew--I wish I knew.

Oh, thanks! sure, anything to help push it out there.

fixed!!

yes, I just saw that. I'm taking it down till Berkeley can fix it.

I do think there's a difference between US and UK on this. CBT is not the be-all and end-all in US. It seems in UK all talk therapy is called CBT. Here, we just talk about "therapy" as short hand for counseling, talk psychotherapy, etc. "I'm in therapy." No one asks about CBT.

Yes, I understand that that's what people with these diagnoses get. but that wasn't really what I was referring to, which was the sort of supportive CBT referenced in the 2021 NICE guidelines.

As I mentioned, I haven't read the whole book at this point and was only rsponding to the sections that involved me, so I could explain my role in that. I realize that concerns had been raised about the content overall.

Yes, I understand that. I meant regular coping CBT and not PACE-style CBT.
