Putting down people on meds is a bad idea, regardless of your philosophy of therapy.
It seems like the article doesn't have anything terribly negative to say about CBT per se relative to other therapies. It seems more concerned that its effectiveness be scientifically validated and that its practitioners be well-trained.
I think they single out CBT because it's by far the dominant form of therapy in the UK. Their recommendations would apply equally to any other therapeutic approach.
