FSP Included in an Article, "Keys to Implementing Empirically Supported Therapies" from the Journal of Family Psychotherapy
The Family Solutions Program was recently assessed in a comparative study by William F. Northey, Jr and Jennifer Hodgson in the Journal of Family Psychotherapy. They set out to compare Empirically Supported Therapies (EST’s) focusing on eight specific therapy models. Instead of analyzing all ESTs, this article “highlight[s] those that offer the most empirical support, fidelity measures, and moderately or well-demonstrated dissemination strategy plans”, with the Family Solutions Program being named as one such intervention by the researchers. Findings suggest that when compared to other ESTs, “the FSP is the most inexpensive program and is designed to train agencies as well” because of the lower start-up costs and fewer materials needed to facilitate the program. The assessment of the eight Empirically Supported Therapies was made based upon start-up costs, administrative costs, training requirements, infrastructure requirements for implementation, materials needed, implementation time required, training opportunities, how fidelity is accounted for, and what outcome studies demonstrate program efficacy.
