- Title
Why Evidence-Based Medicine Can, and Must, Be Applied to Psychiatry.
- Authors
Levine, Robert; Fink, Max
- Abstract
The author stresses the need for evidence-based medicine to be applied to psychiatry. According to the author, without scientific, evidence-based clinical research, psychiatry and all of medicine would bend toward the earth rather than the sun, a mere shadow of what it is, and an ashen image of what it could be. He says that if EBM will not be applied to psychiatry people will return to a non-Hippocratic approach to medicine that failed humanity for so long.
