The purpose of Evidence-Based Mental Health is to alert clinicians working in the field of mental health to important and clinically relevant advances in aetiology, therapy (including specific interventions and systems of care), diagnosis, outcome research and economics. The journal does this by selecting original and review articles from the literature whose results are most likely to be both accurate and clinically useful. The articles are then summarised in value-added abstracts and a commentary by a clinical expert is added.
The target audience is psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and other professionals (e.g. occupational therapists and pharmacists) whose clinical work can be enhanced by up-to-date knowledge of research in mental health. The nature of work in mental health is multi-disciplinary and the aim of EBMH is to inform mental health clinicians from all disciplines of highly relevant developments within the overall field. EBMH covers articles concerned with a broad range of mental health problems, including adults, children, older adults, people with learning disabilities, people with head injuries, drug and alcohol problems, personality disorders and individuals who have developed psychiatric and psychological problems as a result of trauma and psychological or psychiatric problems of people with physical health problems.
The journal is published quarterly and is made available in paper and electronic form. For further details please visit the .
