Literature would tell that CBT is one of the widely used and researched therapy, but there are also claims that it has already lost its efficacy throughout time.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a psycho-social intervention that has different aspects and contexts. All behavioral outcomes as result of therapy or exposures/ factors could have ecological and temporal conditions leads to decline. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) differs from cases to cases and exacerbating factors should considered. The cognitive behavior therapy approaches variation could be another consideration along with types of mental health disorder to be treated.
CBT is considered "gold standard" in working with many anxiety conditions, especially phobias. It is also considered effective in many cases of uncomplicated depression. There are recent modifications (e.g., the incorporation of mindfulness practices in some forms of CBT) and extensions to additional diagnoses, but it's my impression that the longer-standing applications remain highly regarded for their overall, evidence-based effectiveness.
Are you referring to paper by Johnsen and Friborg? :)
They point out in it some possible factors:
- declining adherence to therapy manuals
- declining of the placebo effect
- varying skills of therapy founders/original users and other users
Why would CBT loose its effect? It is individually tailored and brings a lot of understanding to the patient and far cheaper than psychoanalysis.

Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has loss its efficacy in dealing with mental disorders?
As previous answers have said, the efficacy of CBT has not been lost. For various disorders CBT has been shown to be effective. Please see our meta-analysis of CBT’s efficacy for bipolar disorder here:
