In this article I suggest that, notwithstanding its paradigm-shifting contributions to knowledge of psychopathology and psychotherapy, the cognitive approach has failed to answer several important questions. Because of this failure, theorists may have to look elsewhere for answers to such questions as: (a) Why is cognitive-behaviour therapy sometimes unsuccessful? (b) What mechanisms may account for the success of competing therapy systems? (c) How do mental disorders develop? and (d) If emotions are not caused by thoughts, how are emotional states determined?
