One concern for me as a trainee is that CBT is the most used modality in the NHS (our public health system) and most of the jobs I see require it as a primary modality. I believe this is primarily because it is seen as a quick fix in an underfunded system which wants people "fixed" in as few sessions as possible to save money.
I don't like CBT and I won't train in it. Therefore I am cutting off my chance of many jobs. But I agree with stopdog. My experience of it is presumptuous and infantalising. If it's useful for others that's great but it's not for me and not something I would endorse.
