It's worth noting the study was specifically about CBT for depression, which may not indicate similar effects for CBT for other disorders. As always it's worth reading the actual study and not just the headlines. From the study:
"The present meta-analysis is not without limitations. First, this study only included depression, thus, excluding CBT trials aimed at treating other diagnosis, such as anxiety, posttraumatic stress, eating, schizophrenia, and sleep disorders. There is no reason to expect the present findings to generalize to these disorders. In particular, anxiety disorders, which include a heterogeneous group of disorders that probably yield different time trends, have been subjected to the CBT approach. The clinical presentations of, for example, panic, obsessive– compulsive, and posttraumatic stress disorders are very different, as are the CBT approaches used. A meta-analysis of five trials comparing cognitive therapy with exposure therapy to treat obsessive– compulsive disorder (Ougrin, 2011) did not indicate a decline for the newer trials."
