Rated as one of the top 15 breakthroughs in medicine over the last
150 years, evidence-based medicine (EBM) has become highly
influential in medicine. Put simply, EBM promotes a seemingly
irrefutable, principle: that decision-making in medical practice
should be based, as much as possible, on the most up-to-date
research findings. EBM has been particularly popular within
psychiatry, a field that is haunted by a legacy of controversial
interventions. For advocates, anchoring psychiatric practice in
research data makes psychiatry more scientific valid and ethically
legitimate. Few, however, have questioned whether EBM, a concept
pioneered by those working in other areas of medicine, can be
applied to psychiatric disorders. In this groundbreaking book, the
Canadian psychiatrist and ethicist Mona Gupta analyzes the basic
assumptions of EBM, and critically examines their applicability to
psychiatry. By highlighting the basic ethical tensions between
psychiatry and EBM, the author addresses the fundamental and
controversial question - should psychiatrists practice
evidence-based medicine at all?
