As we mentioned earlier, in your real world of everyday practice, you may encounter some practical obstacles limiting your ability to implement the EIP process in an ideal fashion. Some strategies for overcoming those obstacles are presented in Box 2.2.

The time and cost it takes to learn and provide some interventions, however, might be out of your reach. For some of the most effective interventions, the evidence supporting them is based on evaluations involving clinicians who – as part of the research study and before they delivered the interventions to the research participants – received extremely extensive and costly training and repeated practice under supervision and monitoring. Franklin and Hopson (2007) pointed out that this training process “is too slow, cumbersome, inflexible, and time intensive for many community-based organizations” (p. 8). As an example, they cite Brief Strategic Family Therapy, which “has considerable research support for Hispanic families who need help with an adolescent with a drug abuse problem … but costs $4,000 per therapist to participate in the training” (p. 10). Moreover, agencies may hesitate to invest in costly training for their practitioners if they fear that practitioners will leave the agency and take their training with them.
