What you have to do is ...: The coercive use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy in new diseases

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is being used in new organic illnesses such as fibromyalgia (FMS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomielitis (CFS/ME) and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities (MCS) as treatment with the erroneous hypothesis that these patients have "inadapted thoughts". This coercive use of CBT is being carried out to forward the political agendas of public administrations regarding these illnesses which are so ignored and neglected. The other psychotherapies have made themselves scarce in these illnesses in which those who live them so much need support to regain their dignity.
