I've had a very useful experience of a course of CBT; addressed very specifically to a clearly defined aspect of my mental condition, and by a therapist with whom I felt comfortable. As with any 'talking therapy', if the patient and therapist don't hit it off well then it'll never work - nor will it if it is attempted to use it to treat things it isn't suitable for. It isn't any sort of 'cure' for anything. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~
