In one study of treatment-as-usual for drug and alcohol disorders, the researchers found that most therapists failed to implement well-validated intervention techniques (Santa Ana et al., 2008), choosing instead to focus on assessing social functioning and asking open-ended questions, rather than changing relevant thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.

This is what stood out to me and seems similar to problems I hear regarding internal medicine. Doctors trust their intuition above results of novel studies. It takes time for their recommendations to catch up.
