Conceptualising illness and disease
In a recent paper, Sharpe and Greco suggest that chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (MECFS) can be viewed as an instance of "illness without disease", and consequently, treatment should be directed towards altering the patient's experience of, and response to, their symptoms. We discuss two broad issues that arise from Sharpe and Greco's article, one relating to the assumptions they make about MECFS and its treatment specifically,…
Rethinking the treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome—a reanalysis and evaluation of findings from a recent major trial of graded exercise and CBT
These findings raise serious concerns about the robustness of the claims made about the efficacy of CBT and GET. The modest treatment effects obtained on self-report measures in the PACE trial do not exceed what could be reasonably accounted for by participant reporting biases
The problem of bias in behavioural intervention studies
Geraghty's recent editorial on the PACE trial for chronic fatigue syndrome has stimulated a lively discussion. Here, I consider whether the published claims are justified by the data. I also discuss wider issues concerning trial procedures, researcher allegiance and participant reporting bias. Cognitive behavioural therapy and graded exercise therapy had modest, time-limited effects on self-report measures, but little effect on more objective mea…
The “Tongue Twister” Paradigm as a Technique for Studying Phonological Encoding
The “tongue twister” paradigm is underutilizedas a research tool because so little is known abouthow it induces errors. The two experiments reported here explore this paradigm in detail using a task variationwhich minimizes articulatory and mnemonic load. This task was found to elicit good rates of apparently “pure” prearticulatory errors. Two of its features had a significant error-inducing effect: a) repeated reiteration; and b) the use of simi…
