De la contraportada

Developing and Delivering Practice-based Evidence offers a variety of alternatives to complement traditional trials methodology that can improve the overall quality of services in the various fields of psychological therapies. Instead of relying on evidence-based practice alone, the book promotes a range of methodological approaches that allow practitioners to make contributions as equal stake-holders in the process.

The text provides authoritative accounts of the paradigms of evidence-based practice and practice-based evidence. It looks at the methods available to individual practitioners in building an evidence base, such as case-study, single-case, and qualitative approaches. Other topics covered include the adoption of common measurement systems from the US and UK, methods of benchmarking and case-tracking, and organisational and networking components.

Presenting thought-provoking and exciting new approaches to the ongoing challenge of providing the most effective psychological therapy services, this book is an ideal tool for practitioners looking to expand the available evidence base beyond traditional methodology.
