Abstract
The ever-pressing need to advance the practice of psychological therapy has, in recent years, led to the development of evidence-based practice: a framework which elevates research findings to the heart of the therapeutic endeavour. Proposed as a means of developing the professional practice of individuals, as well as informing service planning more broadly, the introduction of evidence-based practice raises critical issues of a methodological, epistemological and professional nature that are yet to be adequately addressed. As these issues have a potentially profound impact on the development of the profession, they require on-going discussion and review. By considering some of the potential benefits and costs of this approach to health care, the aim of this paper is to create a forum for debate and in doing so, raise questions that require our individual and collective attention as we take the profession forward into the 21st century.
