title: The local clinical scientist, evidence-based practice, and personality assessment.
abstract: The local clinical scientist model was devised for clinical practitioners including those engaged in personality assessment. It emphasizes the importance of local data, the consideration of each clinical encounter as a mini-research project, and the incorporation of existing research data where relevant. It is consistent with, but goes beyond, evidence-based practice. There is a need to guard against the operation of cognitive heuristics for the model to be applied effectively.
