Abstract
Like other areas of medicine, treatment and management within psychiatry has increasingly been influenced by the growth of evidence-based medicine. A recent review article in the British Journal of Psychiatry starts with this observation: "Clinical effectiveness, evidence-based medicine (EBM) and related terms were the politically correct medical slogans of the 1990s. For many they are 'buzz words' conveying a modern progressive approach and in some circles it is unwise to express scepticism. evidence-based medicine is being embraced by all specialties and there has been a strong signal that psychiatry is joining the movement by the introduction in 1998 of a psychiatric journal dedicated to evidence-based medicine."1
