Does CBT work? Evidence, criticism and limits

The final episode of the series puts CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) itself to the test: how big its effect is, whether it beats other therapies, where its limits lie and whether therapy can do harm. Why it matters to you: you'll learn to translate research numbers into plain language, read psychotherapy news critically and ask a specialist the right questions. This is education, not therapy or diagnosis.
