ME or CFS? Organic disease or psychiatric disorder? What does the evidence show?
Researchers, doctors and patients have struggled over many years in seeking to answer these questions. Recently, it has become apparent that the influential published evidence for the use of "rehabilitative" treatments for CFS/ME --specifically, graded exercise therapy and cognitive behaviour therapy--is methodologically flawed and should no longer be considered valid or reliable.
This flaw in the conception and treatment of CFS/ME has been recognised by scientists, public health authorities and public officials around the world. David Tuller will present the evidence for rejecting the conclusion that ME/CFS is predominately a psychological illness to be treated with cognitive behaviour therapy and graded exercise therapy and discuss what can be done to disseminate the best scientific evidence for treatment of people with ME/CFS.
