I think that psychotherapy has always been as effective for depression as medications. The reason we are seeing some of these results now is because of recent medication backlashes. Drug companies only wanted us to believe that depression could be fixed with drugs, but there are other factors that people are considering nowadays.

Another thing to consider is that with psychotherapy most people see only one psychotherapist and if that doesn't work they give up. But thats not the way people deal with medications. Ie, if one antidepressant fails it is customary to try a zillion others till one works.

So I don't think its really a fair comparison.
