Overview

Evidence-based practice is likely to dictate standards to which publicly and insurance funded psychotherapy will have to comply in future years. Evidence in the Psychological Therapies examines the meaning of evidence, how standards of good evidence might be established within psychotherapy, and illustrates how evidence could impact on practice across a range of clinical settings. Its contributors comprise academic authorities on the subject of evidence, prominent clinicians and experts who have pioneered evidence-based clinical services and effective methods of audit. Discussing a topic currently central to psychotherapy, Evidence in the Psychological Therapies is essential reading for all psychotherapists (whether in training or practice), psychiatrists, counsellors, psychoanalysts and clinical psychologists.

Jackson, Simon Jakes, Frank Margison, Stirling Moorey, Phil Richardson, Michael Rustin, Paul Sturdee, Digby Tantan, Graham Turpin, James

Reviews

Evidence in the Psychological Therapies does not profess to offer any practical guidance to therapists on evidence-based practice in psychotherapy. Rather, Mace, Moorey and Roberts present the reader with a range of perspectives on issues fundametnal to evidence-based practice in psychotherapy. This divergence in perspectives leaves the reader better informed and more aware of the importance of critical reflection and continued debate on the role and implementation of evidence-based practice in psychotherapy. - - Pieter du Toit, in Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapy, Vol 31 - 2003
