I think most pdocs are enamored with CBT because it's a way to blame the patient when their meds fail. Of course T's and pdocs of all stripes are fond of the blame the patient game, the psychodynamic T I saw for 7 years told me, " I can't help you, you obviously need to be depressed". But I think pdocs in particular like CBT because it's supposed to be "scientific" and according to people like David Burns it never fails; if it doesn't work it's because the patient didn't do their homework or practice the techniques. (kind of reminds me of the natural cures gurus who clog the TV screens with their infomercials, take this, guaranteed to cure whatever ails you.) Cecilia
