I'm sorry you are so upset about this.
I am posting to point out that I see it all completely differently. Not that we need to agree, of course.
The tests are absolutely voluntary- I for one havent bothered. I have no suspicions at all that this might be a research project- after all, there would be a need for ethical permission etc etc, and it wouldnt be possible to not bother.
It is a difficult balance re who is 'responsible' (if anyone) for what we feel. The cognitive behavioural approach has found that some people have automatic thoughts that give them a bleak view of life, which they can learn to identify and change. But of course there are many other times that there isnt such a cause, where we can do something about it. It should never to considered as someone's 'fault'.
Anyway, there are other ways of interpreting what the purpose of these Boards are.
Apologies if you respond to this message and I dont reply- I am about to have a break from Admin due to the conflict, and off to the more peaceful and supportive world on a different Psychobabble board.
