Core Approach to Delivering Practice-based Evidence

Evidence-based practice is the model currently endorsed by UK and other authorities for, amongst other things, psychological interventions. Yet because it places value on randomised control trials and meta-analytic studies above other methodologies, it can be divorced from reality and is not always relevant to practitioners. Client outcomes can be improved by combining evidence-based practice with practice-based research, which seeks to ascertain the value of an intervention when administered by a real individual or team to a real client under real circumstances and conditions. This important book outlines the approach in six easy-to-use sections: Concepts; Measurement; Methods; Collaborative Approaches; Quality Impacts; and Synthesis.
