How
to Practice Evidence-Based Psychiatry: Basic Principles and Case
Studies explains the methods and philosophy of evidence-based psychiatry
and describes ways in which psychiatrists and other mental health
specialists can incorporate evidence-based psychiatry into clinical
practice. It expands and complements the popular text Concise Guide to
Evidence-Based Psychiatry, which provides details on obtaining and
interpreting medical evidence, and it allows experts from a variety of
specialty areas and practice settings to describe interesting and
inspiring cases of their own. The first section of this volume can be
used as both an introduction to the topic and a ready reference for researching
the literature and appraising evidence. It offers chapters devoted to
systematic reviews and meta-analyses, clinical practice guidelines,
diagnostic tests, surveys of disease frequency, and prognosis and
psychometric measurement. The second and third sections, on the
application of evidence-based psychiatry to major DSM-IV disorders and
specific treatment settings, include relevant case examples in which 24
experienced clinicians from a variety of practice settings discuss
situations in which they followed aspects of evidence-based care. This
book is a valuable new tool to help residents, practicing psychiatrists,
and other mental health workers understand and make use of evidence-based information to improve their everyday practice
