Abstract:
As the need for effective evidence-based practice comes under close scrutiny we investigate the effectiveness of three interventions; thought suppression, reassurance and relaxation, that are routinely offered to clients. These strategies have very little evidence to support their continued use. The article continues by discussing and describing situations where more helpful evidence-based interventions are better suited.
