PACE trial investigators acknowledge in Lancet response that CBT and GET are totally useless ...

Treatments used "offer practical hope of useful improvement" and this improvement is so big that people are still (severely) disabled after treatment. Yet they obviously ignore their own NULL effect by writing total nonsense. Wessely would say Same old same old ...
