That makes sense. If you want to go beyond self reporting, you have to use very long term measures like employment, incidence of suicide, etc. And of course it's very hard to guarantee that an individual pursued and sustained a specific type of therapy for a substantial amount of a long term study period.
I don't have references offhand but there are controlled studies that show benefit of other types of therapy
Overall all though, all psychotherapy studies are messy
