The psyches are spreading their tentacles, is their any condition that they can't treat with CBT?

I saw a little of this discussed on some morning program, they seemed to think it was some remarkable breakthrough treatment.

Looking st the latest DSM stuff - this does appear to be where they are going - all based on the fallacious reasoning of 'difficult to explain biomedically so pychogenic by default' and a ubiquitous correlation of distress with illness.

Ludicrous.
