Ranking depression treatments for clinical practice: A pragmatic approach that assigns importance to effectiveness, cost and access.

The NICE guidelines did much the same, having identified those psychological treatments that were better than placebo, they proceeded to state whether they were effective in groups or best suited to individualized therapy, whether they were widely available, how long treatment would normally take and what could be the cost of a typical course of therapy.
