Abstract Although Virtual Reality (VR) treatment and Internet-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) have been found to be effective in a large series of studies, dissemination of these therapies in the community at large is still in its infancy. A number of reasons for the lack of dissemination are discussed, including clinicians' resistance, lack of representation of samples studied, and lack of cost-effectiveness studies. Challenges for further studies are pointed out.
