Summary: The importance of assessing outcomes in mental health services has never been greater, as the nature of evidence-based medicine demands that psychiatric outcomes are measurable and practicable. Yet, outcomes have always been notoriously difficult to quantify. This guides the reader through the minefield of mental health outcome measurement, providing the building blocks for evidence-based mental health service provision and evaluation. The third edition is thoroughly updated to include all the recent developments in the field. It documents the continued and rapid production of new rating scales and the translation of psychometrically well established scales into new languages.
