Developing and Delivering Practice-Based Evidence

by Michael Barkham, Gillian E. Hardy, John Mellor-Clark

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 randomized control trials and meta-analytic studies above other methodologies, it is not always relevant to practitioners.

Publisher Description

Developing and Delivering Practice-based Evidence promotes a range of methodological approaches to complement traditional evidence-based practice in the field of psychological therapies. Represents the first UK text to offer a coherent and programmatic approach to expand traditional trials methodology in the field of psychological therapies by utilizing evidence gained by practitionersIncludes contributions from UK and US scientist-practitioners who are leaders in their fieldFeatures content appropriate for practitioners working alone, in groups, and for psychological therapy services

Back Cover

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.

Review

"The field of psychotherapy has witnessed an increasing emphasis on the need for research evidence that can inform clinical practice. As this volume most clearly illustrates, however, there is also an important need for clinical practice to offer input on the effectiveness of our treatments. More than just providing lip service to closing the gap between research and practice, this edited volume gives us specific suggestions and guidelines for how this may be done. Indeed, it is a major contribution in our search for therapy interventions that have both a firm grounding in research evidence and converging support from clinical reality."
—Marvin R. Goldfried, PhD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, Stony Brook University, USA "We are now familiar with evidence based practice that has powerfully influenced service provision in the psychological therapies.  As practitioners however, we are acutely aware of its limitations. Research that informs the evidence base we are routinely referred to is distant and remote from our experience. It feels disempowering as our every day practice is influenced by randomised controlled trials that espouse a medical model that does not reflect the diversity and complexity of practice as counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologist know it.  We are acutely aware that clients with a single diagnosis are rare and that our clients come in unique packages that could never be captured in a meaningful group that could reliably be randomised for trial purposes.  Practitioners have been marginalised and disempowered by current research paradigms and it is time for a change.
This book provides just the change in emphasis that we are looking for and indeed hungry for. It provides a comprehensive account of everything a practitioner needs to know about the generation of practice based evidence.  It is just the book that is needed to inspire practitioners to engage with research through meeting with others in practitioner networks or influencing the agencies they work in, to start collecting data. A ground swell of researcher practitioners engaging in meaningful research with their own clients or agencies can influence theory and practice for the future. Indeed practice based evidence could become the new evidence based practice.
Many advocates of practitioner research, who have themselves already made substantial contributions to theory and practice through the development of theories, instruments and systems have contributed to this book. Indeed, it is a potentially historical text that captures in one volume the assembled knowledge of the vanguard who will lead essential changes in the way that knowledge is generated in the field of psychotherapy. It has the potential to be revolutionary as it becomes a recommended text for psychotherapy researchers and practitioners that will herald a shift in how research is conducted, who does it, how it is reported and the influence it will have  on future services."
