CBT in a nutshell: "our theory works on paper, it's your problem if it doesn't work for you"

It more it works experimentally in many cases eg:

>CBT showed higher response rates than the comparison conditions in 7 of these reviews and only one review reported that CBT had lower response rates than comparison treatments. In general, the evidence-base of CBT is very strong. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3584580/

And I guess a lot of doctors are not that up on the other therapies.
