Biography
Henrik Berg, PhD, is a full professor in theory of science at the University of Bergen. He has an academic background in philosophy and psychology. He also is a clinical psychologist.
'In this book, Berg claims that evidence-based practice in psychology distorts psychotherapy. This bold claim is proven valid throughout the book. It shows that there is a need for a reconstruction of the policy-statement. The book is well written and crystal clear in the presentation of philosophical concepts and in the analysis of evidence-based practice in psychology.'
Henrik Eriksen, Danish Psychological Association
