For you clinical types from an experimental type:
(1)     I was telling my students how lengthy, intensely and VERY costly
psychoanalysis and how unlikely it is therefore, to be covered by insurance or
HMOs. They, thus, want to know why all the graphics in their book and in my
overheads (which come from varied textbook websites) all show psychoanalysis the
second most popular type of psychotherapy, at 25% (eclectic comes in at around
32% and behavioral at 15%, cog-beh at 12%, client-centered arond 8% and the rest
for others


I'm only speculating, but most training programs in clinical psych are psychoanalytic, or, more accurately, psychodynamic in orientation.  Since most clinicians are trained in that approach, it stands to reason that more clients would be receiving that form of treatment.  My orientation is  cognitive-behavioral, but my degree was in developmental and my clinical training was postdoc.  In the settings were I have worked, I was usually the only person with my orientation-all the rest were psychodynamic.  That is slowly changing,   but  it is still likely that most clinical psychologists are less likely to be trained and therefore practice in the other approaches mentioned above.
