Maybe I can tell you about my experience if it helps...
I nearly tried all the Bob's mentionned psychotherapy, and for me the one that most improved my life, was a psychoanalytical psychotherapy, once a week, during 2 years. I still have sometimes depression problem, but nothing compared with before the therapy. (before I was suicidal, I had important relations problems with people, I was unable to work...) I'm lucky my insurance paid this psychotheray.

Cognitive and behavioural therapy had no long term effects on me. And I didn't feel like trying all my life to fight cognitively against my problem (i.e. to cope). Psychoanalytical therapy works on the causes, no the effects of the psychological difficultes, like depression for ex.
But the problem is to find the right therapist for a psychoanalytical therapy. Often they don't exactly know what psychoanalytical therapy is, so they argue that it's an old fashionned way of treating people, or they say it's not "scientific".
Good luck and sorry for my bad english, it's not my mother language.
