APA skriver om deres praktisk vejledninger:
APA practice guidelines are intended to assist psychiatrists in clinical decision-making and to improve patient care. They also document evidence available to determine appropriate care. A practice guideline is not a “standard of care.” The ultimate judgment regarding a particular clinical procedure or treatment plan must be made by the psychiatrist in light of the clinical data presented by the patient and the diagnostic and treatment options available.
