== Biopsychosocial model == BACME promotes the controversial [[NICE guidelines]], which strongly recommend [[Cognitive behavioral therapy|Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)]] and [[Graded exercise therapy|Graded Exercise Therapy (GET)]] based on the biopsychosocial model of [[ME/CFS]], both these treatments are very unpopular with patients and patient groups.<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.bacme.info/sites/bacme.info/files/file-attachments/BACME%20Therapy%20&%20Symptom%20Management%20Guide.pdf | title=Therapy and Symptom Management Guide | last = | first = | author-link = | date = | website = bacme.info| archive-url = | archive-date = |url-status = | access-date=2019-01-13}}</ref> A patient survey commissioned by NICE in 2019 found very few patients improved with [[graded exercise therapy]], and more patients found it harmful than neutral or helpful. The same patient survey found that most patients found CBT ineffective, some found it harmful and only a minority of patients found it helpful.<ref name="OxfordBrookesSurvey">{{Cite web |url = https://www.meassociation.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/NICE-Patient-Survey-Outcomes-CBT-and-GET-Final-Consolidated-Report-03.04.19.pdf | title =Evaluation of a survey exploring the experiences of adults and children with ME/CFS who have participated in CBT and GET interventional programmes.
