It is the place to find and contribute evidence, reflection and discussion on the many disciplines that drive leadership in health and care.

Evidence-Based Mental Health aims to engage psychiatrists and psychologists, particularly younger professionals, in the challenge of basing their practice on evidence. It aims to provide material to allow professionals to develop the necessary skills, such that after reading the journal regularly for a year or two, readers should be able to practice evidence-based mental health in their own practices, and by regularly reading the journal, readers will be able to keep up to date with the latest evidence in the field and the ever expanding suite of evidence-based approaches, joining the growing community of people with an active interest in EBMH across the world.. Published by the British Psychological Society, the Royal College of Psychiatrists and BMJ the journal surveys a wide range of international medical journals, applying strict criteria for the quality and validity of research. Clinicians assess the relevance of the best studies and the key details of these essential articles are presented in a succinct, informative abstract with an expert commentary on their clinical application.
