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.
本文描述了以慢性医学无法解释的疲劳（慢性疲劳综合征或CFS）为主诉到一家诊所就诊的患者的特征，包括从这些接受认知行为疗法治疗的患者样本中引出的认知（想法和假设）。基于这些观察结果，提出了CFS病因的认知理论。这些观察结果对CFS患者的治疗具有启示意义。
