Evidenced-Based Mental Health Care
By Dr. Simon Hatcher, Professor Mark Oakley-Browne and Dr. Robert Butler
176 pp., 17 ills., Copyright 2005
Description
An introduction to evidence-based mental health care for all mental health professionals - psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses and clinical psychologists.
Key Features
An introduction to evidence-based mental health care for all professionals working in that field - very few other books are multi-disciplinary in this way.
Lays stress on critical appraisal of rating scales and clinical decision rules, which are important in mental health but not dealt with well in existing EBM books.
Self-testing exercises and answers reinforce learning.
Useful for postgraduate exams but does not focus entirely on that market.
