Motivation to begin treatment, especially given the anxiety-evoking nature of ERP, is often a problem. Thus readiness programs, in which patients read case histories or discuss treatment with former patients, might decrease refusal rates and increase treatment compliance. From the clinician's perspective, providing successful ERP can be a challenge, and very few centres offer the training needed to become proficient in these procedures. Therefore, development of programs for psychology and psychiatry trainees might also improve access to this effective therapy.
