It is welcome news that funding for talking therapy is to be increased (A dark age for mental health, October 13). There is no doubt that cognitive behavioural therapy can be effective with particular patient groups. In the short term patients seem to benefit and all the boxes can be ticked. However, if the deeper roots of long-standing problems are not addressed, the patient's problems may return. CBT is a cheap and appealing option, but if anyone seriously believes that all levels of mental-health issues can be fixed by CBT alone they are seriously mistaken.
