Abstract: to mention our allegiance to psychoeducation as researchers and therapists.We tried to minimise its influence by masking both the doctors in charge of TAU and the outcome assessors.Fifth, Biswas et al advise that we examine effect modifiers and moderators.In our paper we explain that we did examine one strong empirically supported candidate variable in this regard, namely expressed emotion. 1 And we failed to confirm its role as effect modifier or moderator.Last but not least, unfortunately we must confess that we do not fully understand how the authors' proposed 'two-level randomisation' or psychoeducation to 'enhance the maintenance of treatment effects following drug withdrawal' might work.We are more than willing to continue this discussion in order to 'creatively tackle design issues when conducting drug-behaviour trials' .
