I don't think Patrick thinks that ideomotion is not useful in treating pain, rather I think he's just questioning it's relationship to self-correction since he's arguing that humans are not self-corrective.
In not questioning the relationship between such altered motor output and correction. I was simply taking up on Barrett's invitation to critically analyze his premise. I think there is an important difference between "we have a capacity for self correction" and "we are self corrective".
