The problem with mainstream therapy is that, unless you're being treated by a psychiatrist, there's very little in the way of objective evidence of therapy working.

Sure, lots of self-reported successes by patients with no control to compare against, but at this point there is just as much self-reported evidence that prayer works.

For medical treatments, the bar should be higher than "patient believes it worked".
