On this thread I'll maintain a literature review showing which modalities of psychotherapy are viewed in peer-reviewed medical journals as promising for the treatment of various mental illnesses.

Very helpful, w.c. And thanks for the tinurls.

I've never heard of Dialectical Behavior Therapy, but it seems effective.

Looks like the Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy was also effective. BTW, that seems to be just basic spirituality, or something akin to Buddhism. In fact, it seems many of these therapies are about enabling and supporting the ascendance of spiritual consciousness to govern one's lower psychological/primate nature.

Stanley Greenspan's research is to be watched carefully, as it will bear-upon what are the most effective models in treating attachment disorders in adults. His work is the focus of scrutiny as the claims are so unprecedented for radical change over time in autistic children treated within his "Floor Time" model.
