MED, ACT: An Essay on ME/CFS and Psychology

ME/CFS Australia's latest blog entry is "An essay on ME/CFS and Psychology".

We discuss the role of psychology in ME/CFS and acknowledge the important
role that psychologists and psychiatrists can play in assisting some people
cope with ME/CFS. We ask for clarity concerning the role of psychology and
ask health practitioners to begin to take into consideration the iatrogenic
harm that comes from a healthcare system which has not always dealt well
with this 'emergent' condition. Public health officials, psychologists,
psychiatrists and consumer groups can work together to provide a narrative
that brings healing to patients.
