All of this is my opinion, not necessarily fact.

Thanks, Christina - very helpful. So, am i correctly understanding that CBT (cognitive-behaviorial therapy?) is solution-focused and generally very short-term, i.e., 1 year or less? Who determines that the client has the "skills so they can get out the door?" the T? would a CB therapist terminate at this point?
