I keep feeling like I haven't had much to say about the past couple of topics. Who am I to say that any one therapy is ineffective or even inefficient? Who are we to say that one is better than any other? Do we even have a definition about what a "better" therapy would be? Is it cheaper? Quicker? Gets people off drugs faster? Do the patients "feel" better? I have no answers for these kinds of questions, and I haven't heard a cohesive argument from the class as of yet. The debate between CBT, pharmapsychotheraphy and psychoanalysis and any other form of therapy seems irrelevant. It's good to talk about them, I suppose, so that we know what's out there, but I don't think we can truly debate their merit. If they help even one person, however that person defines "help", then I think they have accomplished the goal they set for themselves.
