The topic of this thesis is the process of change taking place during Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
Specific changes leading to a reduction in fatigue are examined, but also possible detrimental effects of CBT and predictors of poor treatment outcome. The role of therapist-patient interaction is also investigated. Finally we try to study the factors that play a role when patients perform a simple daily-life activity.
