Section on meta analyses of CBT for schizophrenia states "Several meta-analyses have shown CBT to be effective in schizophrenia,[34][56]" - only the Wykes et al is a meta analysis - the other paper is not and should be removed or replaced

There are issues with this "is a "structured, short-term, present-oriented psychotherapy for depression, directed toward solving current problems and modifying dysfunctional (inaccurate and/or unhelpful) thinking and behavior."

1. It is way too complicated. We are writing for a general audience thus it is not appropriate as the first sentence of the article
2. It is no longer correct as CBT is used for many conditions

Thus restored " is a short-term psychotherapy used in a number of mental illnesses" Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:42, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
