Did it really ever work, especially in the long term?
The last sentence below is rather a mystery. It's as if they are saying this trend is a negative. The article also states "and now for the bad news". Why are they all so apologetic?
I may be reading way too much into this and have to admit I haven't read the whole study which may put this in context.
Hopefully, this means the science is finally catching up to the reality.

.In the initial phase of the cognitive era, CBT was frequently portrayed as the gold standard for the treatment of many disorders. In recent times, however, an increasing number of studies ... have not found this method to be superior to other techniques. Coupled with the increasing availability of such information to the public, including the Internet, it is not inconceivable that patients’ hope and faith in the efficacy of CBT has decreased somewhat, in recent decades. Moreover, whether widespread knowledge of the present meta-analysis results might worsen the situation, remains an open question
