I'm sure you're aware that peer reviewed empirical research may demonstrate the success rate of a given method, however in psychology what is or isn't effective can change from person to person. If a given technique or framework is demonstrated to be helpful to 15% of people in several peer reviewed studies, then that 15% has been treated successfully.
By my understanding many psychologists attend therapy sessions with a psychologist that uses a psychoanalytic framework.
