The aim of this work is to contribute to the ongoing debate on the Consensus Conference on Psychological Therapies for Anxiety and Depression. Taking a scientific approach to implement the guidelines of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, I will frame my reflections in a peer-review format identifying five areas that might benefit from the review. Obviously, the opinions I express here may be faulty opinions that I will attempt to justify from the standpoint of existing scientific literature.
