Few concepts can have achieved the status of unchallengeable
common-sense in such a short space of time, and across such a broad
range of professional activity, as evidence-based practice.
Evidence-Based Practice: A Critical Appraisal stands back from
the flurry of excitement and activity that has accompanied the
development of evidence-based practice. This is the first text to
provide a critical appraisal of the strengths and weaknesses of
evidence-based practice, weighing the arguments of both advocates
and opponents of the approach. It is also the first text to examine
the concept of evidence-based practice as a cross-disciplinary
phenomenon, looking at how and why evidence-based practice has
spread beyond acute medicine and considers the relevance of the
approach for other disciplines. This book also contains an
introduction to the basic concepts and terminology of
evidence-based practice for those who are less familiar with the
approach.
Key features:
Critically appraises the strengths and limitations of
evidence-based practice
Covers evidence-based practice in primary care, mental health,
public health, nursing, social work and probation, education and
human resource management.

The book is essential reading for a wide range of health care
students, practitioners and managers. It is of direct relevance to
professionals working in areas where evidence-based practice is
emerging strongly such as social work/probation and education. The
book will also be of interest to students ofsocial policy.
