Notes
1 The idea for this issue emerged from a two-day symposium held at the London School of Economics on 8–9 June 2006. ‘Searching for gold standards—The construction and governance of RCTs and EBM in psychiatry’, was jointly organized by the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London and the BIOS Centre. Our thanks to Derek Bolton, Nikolas Rose and George Szmukler for their oversight and support of the symposium.
2 As is well known, ‘evidence-based medicine’ is itself a contested term, with many practitioners preferring the phrase ‘evidence-informed practice’.
