The basic premise of CBT is that all problems are down to a person's negative thoughts. There's no room for looking at the social structures that have (at least partially) shaped those thoughts. And if it's done badly (which happens a lot now it's very fashionable and most practitioners have minimal training) it actively discourages people from letting them selves feel feelings like grief or anger at being wronged CBT seems to be helpful for a lot of people so that's a good thing. But i think ultimately it would be better to change the world (if that was possible)
