Seems to work for some people. I think a lot of stuff is "a good enough therapist can make it work if it's suitable for the client".

This is literally all that any therapeutic discipline has achieved. CBT is completely overhyped, for example. Results are... literally placebo.

Well, when you put in the drug trial results that were witheld it turns out that a lot of drugs are in the nocebo side too.

er, not nocebo, I forget the name for placebo but the drug has an effect noticeable to patient, just unrelated to what it's supposed to do

I've also forgotten, but "fucking useless" seems about right.

A lot may also be related to practioner skill. One of my best friends is a psych, specializing in depression, gets good results, says more shrinks and almost all GPs mis-prescribe.

Pretty much everything in psych is like that. Practitioners have worse professional training than e.g. doctors, and doctors fuck up all. the. time.

Practitioners also don't often revise their paradigms in tune with current findings in research. Once any treatment regimen (be it psychiatric or psychotherapeutic) becomes standard in the field, it's very difficult to get practitioners to abandon it if shown to be ineffective.

Replying to @Failed_Buddhist @Triquetrea and
A lot of practitioners tend to just use whatever they learned in the course of their training for the rest of their career, even though the field is constantly evolving (and, one could very well argue, still in its infancy).

It's almost like they're human beings prone to laziness, stubbornness and confirmation bias. (Though many people don't have this impression.)

It's not as bad as doctors having worse-than-expert-system diagnostic abilities on average, lol. And in some cases worse than *chance*.
