TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Chronic fatigue syndrome: a cognitive approach JO - Behaviour research and therapy A1 - Surawy, C. A1 - Hackmann, A. A1 - Hawton, Keith E. A1 - Sharpe, M. SP - 535 EP - 544 VL - 33 IS - 5 N2 - Observations concerning the characteristics of patients who presented to a medical clinic with a principal complaint of chronic medically unexplained fatigue (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or CFS) are described, including the cognitions (thoughts and assumptions) elicited from a sample of these patients who were treated using cognitive behavioural therapy. On the basis of these observations a cognitive theory of the aetiology of CFS is proposed. These observations have implications for the treatment of patients with CFS.
