This book contrasts earlier textbooks on "evidence-based practices."
Whereas the latter is a slogan that call for scientific evidence to be
used in standardized treatment manuals, ethics-based practices call
for individualized treatment that makes the situation meaningful for the
patient. The main argument for changing the treatment design from being
evidence-based to one based on ethics, is the hypothesis that good
health care is based on treatment which makes the situation positive and
meaningful for the patient. The awareness for this is primarily provided
by ethical considerations.
