There is almost zero science in psychiatry yet it used used as the predominant science when it suits certain vested interests,lobbying groups, support of the status quo ideology and mainly for financial and corporate protection of previous ills or negligence.
The crime against people with ME is the same one that was perpetrated against those with MS, epilepsy and even more recently peptic Ulcers.
Psychiatry is the "science" that declared homosexuality a mental illness well into eh 1970s and on their watch in was a "crime" punishable by imprisonment.
This book exposes the many flaws in the deep routed psychogenic belief systems employed by people like Simon Wessely, Peter White and Michael Sharp and then rolled out as policy.
For many years they have produced fraudulent papers and manipulated criteria and data whilst in the pay of various insurance companies and government departments or simply to protect their own previous agendas.
They pontificate on everything from ME the Camelford water poisoning disaster. Anywhere a get out clause is required they are there with their same KGB style explanations spouting the same formula or "nothing to see here move along".
Whatever their current affiliations are, and even if they claim to be now non affiliated, they are simply now protecting their own past rhetoric with further flawed "studies" out of self preservation and desperation.
I hope this book further serves to show such faux "science" in the face or real facts and how it is simply a control tactic best left behind in the middle ages.
However the incentive with the current "austerity" notion and attacks on disability welfare, healthcare and the progressing right wing agenda is possibly stronger than ever.
Lets not have science agenda driven by political desire!!
