Evidence Based Psychiatry Derek Bolton, Kings College, London Selected topics to be addressed in the workshop: * What is evidence-based medicine? (see e.g. Sackett) * Hierarchies of evidence (see e.g. OCEBM table and background documents) * RCTs: logic, virtues and limitations (see e.g. Cartwright, Bolton, Worrall, La Caze et al.) * Applications in mental health: medications (e.g. Gaudiano and Herbert) * Applications in mental health: psychotherapies (e.g. Chambless, Marzillier & Hall, Clark et al, Hellerstein) * Summary of problems of generalizability * Summary of problems of implementation * Concluding: is evidence based psychiatry a good idea? Preparations by workshop participants before the workshop: Prepare to speak for 3 minutes on any, some or all of the follow topics: 1. What is evidence-based medicine? What are the reasons for it? 2. What is evidence-based medicine? What are the reasons against it? 3. Are there special features relevant to psychiatry/mental health practice different from other areas of healthcare? 4. Is there a good epistemological basis for the view that RCTs are best for determining the causal efficacy of treatments? 5. What are the problems of generalising from RCTs to everyday practice?
