ABSTRACT

This chapter outlines the current status of evidence-based practice within homeopathy in the UK and touches on some of the key issues around concepts such as research and evidence. It draws on data collected as part of a grounded theory study of the practice of professional UK homeopaths when treating Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children. The full grounded theory “getting to the heart of the case” can be found in (Heirs 2012), while this chapter focuses on the issue of research and the use of evidence in practice.
