Practice-Based Evidence Rather Than Evidence-Based Practice in Psychiatry

Medscape Journal of Medicine June 16, 2008 Video Editorial by: Dr. David Hellerstein Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry Columbia University in New York. "Physicians are barraged with demands to implement evidence-based practices (EBP).[1] Hesitate and you risk being labeled as part of the medical axis of evil. Some resisters may favor "superstition-based practice." Not me. But, I do believe that the evidence that evidence-based practice works in actual practice often isn't good enough." http://journal.medscape.com/viewarticle/575578
