I'm sorry, but I'm just deeply suspicious of this as an ad-hoc argument to sustain/excuse the defunct (bio)psychosocial model of illness causation/perpetuation in the face of overwhelming evidence of a biomedical nueroimmune disease.
When I hear that they are using psychoneuroimmunology successfully for Lupus, Cancer, Graves disease, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and AIDS (and preferably that it has been published in something other than a behavioral medicine or psychosomatic journal, maybe Neuroendocrine Letters or something like that), then I will look at the research.
