Thank you. This sounds exciting and I hope it will become widely used. I hope too that it will open eyes to the need for more psychotherapy treatment and get the insurance companies to stop pushing medications so fervently. Medications treat symptoms; psychotherapy treats the whole person.

Insurance companies have been expecting medication treatment... or possibly medication with CBT... to work for everyone and they want it done as quickly as possible. Their attitude has even adversely affected the attitudes of some providers.

The laws also should be changed to make insurance companies honor mental health issues as real health issues. Benefits need to be upgraded for mental health issues as well.

This is hopefully a big move in the right direction and it will be interesting to see how widely it is accepted outside of the immediate mental health community.
