[[File:Steven Lubet.png|300px|thumb|right|Source:northwestern.edu]] '''Steven Lubet''' is the Williams Memorial Professor at Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, where he specializes in professional responsibility and ethics. He has been living with [[Chronic Fatigue Syndrome]] (CFS) since 2006. [http://www.abajournal.com/authors/4 Debra Cassens Weiss] wrote about Professor Lubet's CFS battle in ''ABA Journal'': [http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/well_known_law_prof_battles_stigma_of_chronic_fatigue_syndrome_by_going_pub/ "Well-known law prof battles] [[stigma]] of chronic fatigue syndrome by going public". Professor Lubet notes patients are "treated as malingerers and met with disbelief" with many "referred to psychiatrists" and that he 'outed' himself [about having ME/CFS] to broaden public understanding."<ref>{{Cite web |url = http://www.abajournal.com/news/article/well_known_law_prof_battles_stigma_of_chronic_fatigue_syndrome_by_going_pub/ | title = Well-known law prof battles stigma of chronic fatigue syndrome by going public | date = Jan 15, 2015 |access-date=|website=American Bar Association Journal | last = | first = | authorlink = |archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=}}</ref> ==PACE trial criticism == [[File:PACE-Trial-bias.png|alt=It is understandable that the PACE investigators would defend the validity of their study, but they have understated their professional stake in the reported outcomes of the trial, which was framed from the outset as determining more than simply the effectiveness of the therapies. In fact, they were testing their own theories of the illness, as detailed in the Lancet paper in which they first announced their results... Investigator bias and the PACE trial - Steven Lubert|thumb|400x400px|PACE trial bias - quote from Steven Lubert, Investigator bias and the PACE trial. The PACE trial was based on the Cognitive Behavioral Model - the theory that ME/CFS was fully reversible with behavioral and psychological interventions (GET and CBT), and that no underlying disease process was at work. Patients were selected using the Oxford criteria developed by Sharpe, and recovery was assessed with Chalder's Chalder Fatigue Scale and other patient questionnaires.''(Poster licensed for reuse: CC-BY-4.0'')|center]] Mr. Lubet is a critic of the [[PACE trial]] and has written pieces deconstructing its faults. == Education == *JD, University of California, Berkeley *BA, Northwestern University {{Clear}} ==Open letters== *2017, Mr. Lubert was one of the signatories of [[an open letter to Psychological Medicine about “recovery” and the PACE trial| open letter]] requesting the journal, ''Psychological Medicine'', to retract their paper about the inflated recovery rates of the [[PACE trial]] immediately.<ref>{{Cite web | date = Mar 13, 2017 | last = Lubet | first =Steven | authorlink=Steven Lubet|website =[[Virology blog]] | title = An open letter to psychological medicine about recovery and the PACE trial|url = http://www.virology.ws/2017/03/13/an-open-letter-to-psychological-medicine-about-recovery-and-the-pace-trial/}}</ref> ==Notable articles== '''Virology Blog''' *July 3, 2017: [http://www.virology.ws/2017/07/03/trial-by-error-guest-post-questions-about-professor-sharpes-special-ethics-seminar/ "Trial by Error, Guest Post: Questions About Professor Sharpe’s ‘Special Ethics Seminar’"] *Apr 16, 2018: [http://www.virology.ws/2018/04/16/trial-by-error-guest-post-crowdfunding-david-tuller-is-not-a-conflict-of-interest/ "Trial By Error, Guest Post: Crowdfunding David Tuller Is Not a Conflict of Interest"] '''Journal of Health Psychology''' *March 7, 2017: [http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1359105317697324 "Investigator bias and the PACE trial"]<blockquote> Abstract - The PACE investigators reject Geraghty’s suggestion that the cognitive behavior therapy/graded exercise therapy trial could have been better left to researchers with no stake in the theories under study.
