Well, Dawes wrote in the 80s and I remember being Rorschach'd in the 90s, but I can imagine that things have gotten better in the 00s. Still, I have to ask - have there been any experimental studies showing the improvement?
(I do remember hearing that there was positive experimental validation for cognitive-behavioral therapy doing systematically better than other forms of psychotherapy.)
Yes, cognitive-behavioral therapy has come out ahead of other methods in a number of randomized clinical trials.

Carl, following that link to its source brought me here: http://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/index.jsp?action=download&o=33188, where several randomized trials are mentioned.
