I'm sure that CBT helps a lot of people who describe themselves as being depressed. Perhaps it has a success rate that is dependent on the subtype of depression being treated. I think CBT works from the top down while psychodynamic therapy works from the bottom up. The advantage of CBT is that it can produce positive results relatively quickly. Cognitive distortions (automatic thoughts) and behaviors are often easier to change than are core beliefs.

climb to get there.
