This MA is hardly conclusive re. psychotherapy vs. self-help; few studies, and psychotherapy better for PTSD and dep. compared to self-help

One MA is never conclusive. But I am skeptical of psychotherapy effectiveness for dep. rel even to placebo. See e.g. Cuijpers et al. 2014pic.twitter.com/72h4JK6DSp

Thanks for the link, a good summary/sources. A very unfortunate and frustrating state of affairs, esp. given the mental health issues today.

You could say the same about practitioners of any kind. If I knew how to build my own house, I wouldn't need a carpenter.

Thing is, who showed these people how to self-help? Who developed the techniques? Who evaluated it's success? The therapist!

Who would tell the people how to self-care? How would it be determined what kind of self-care they need?
