this is specifically w.r.t addictions right? not about effectiveness of CBT in general?

yes if the outcome you care about is one out of four patients checking a few fewer boxes on the depression inventory

was just asking about effect size vs. confidence interval. it's somewhat less pathetic for other use cases, is my understanding. that it's still pathetic compared to things we have actually good treatments for is a separate issue.

the outcome (for depression) I care about more is reduce suicide rates. how does CBT perform there?

no evidence for that, but there’s no evidence for much of anything reducing completed suicides

the few studies that exist are about attempts or ideation, attempters are very different from completers
