Talk:Primer for doctors and researchers

I have the citations on PEM w/o the template. I hope that is OK, I thought it best to get the citations in and if someone feels they should be in a template format they have the option to edit in.--DxCFS (talk) 10:36, 16 August 2016 (PDT)

GET & CBT origins - not based on PACE trial
Citations needed  GET & CBT were rolled out in the UK with the 2007 NICE guidelines, and used sporadically before that the first PACE study was not published until 2012. PACE was designed to end the controversy over GET & CBT, which had many previous trials. Trudie Chalder may be been the creator of CBT for ME & CFS, possibly with others, around 1988. Graded Exercise Therapy was also developed in the late 1980s or early 1990s, with research on the deconditioning found in patients used as a justification for "reconditioning them". GET was heavily promoted by Simon Wessely and the Wessely school psychiatrists, including Michael Sharpe who helped develop the Oxford criteria. Trudie Chalder was one of the first to publish a book on CBT for chronic fatigue syndrome and developed the Chalder fatigue scale, with its flawed "bimodal" scoring - which allowed researchers to choose from two different scoring methods which did not give the same results.
