The evidence\u2010based narrative that emerged within biomedicine has dominated health care. The biomedical notion of \u2018evidence\u2019 has been critiqued extensively and is seen as exclusive and limiting, and even though the social constructionist paradigm attempts to challenge the authority of biomedicine to legitimate what constitutes acceptable evidence or knowledge for those experiencing mental illness, biomedical notions of evidence appear to remain relatively intact. Queer theory offers theoretical tools to disrupt biomedical norms and challenges biomedical normativity to indicate how marginalisation occurs when normative truths about mental health classify those who differ from the norm as \u2018ill\u2019 or \u2018disordered\u2019. Queer theory's emphasis on normativity serves the political aim to subvert marginalisation and bring about radical social and material change. Reference will be made to mental health subjects within each discourse by indicating how the body acts as a vehicle for knowing. Deleuzian notions of the rhizome are used as metaphor to suggest a relational approach to knowledge that does away with either\/or positions in either biomedical, or queer knowledge to arrive at a both\/and position where the biomedical, constructionist and queer are interrelated and entangled in needing the other for their own evolution. However, queer does not ask for assimilation but celebrates difference by remaining outside to disrupt that which is easily overlooked, assumed to be natural or represented as the norm. The task of queer knowledge is to do justice to the lives lived in the name of evidence\u2010based practice and demands that we consider the relations of power where knowledge is produced. This pursuit creates different knowledge spaces where we identify new intersections that allow for socially just understandings of knowing or evidence to emerge.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/nin.12039","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,12]],"date-time":"2013-06-12T10:11:52Z","timestamp":1371031912000},"page":"101-111","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Queer challenges to evidence\u2010based practice"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Laetitia","family":"Zeeman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health and Social Science University of Brighton Falmer UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kay","family":"Aranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health and Social Science University of Brighton Falmer UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alec","family":"Grant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health and Social Science University of Brighton Falmer UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1363459312438564"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","volume-title":"Rorty and his critics","author":"Brandom R","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","volume-title":"Geographies of sexualities: Theory, practice and politics","author":"Browne K","year":"2007"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4159\/9780674029019"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","volume-title":"Acts of meaning","author":"Bruner J","year":"1990"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","volume-title":"An introduction to social constructionism","author":"Burr V","year":"2001"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_8_1","volume-title":"Subjects of desire, hegelian reflections in twentieth\u2010century france","author":"Butler J","year":"1987"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/3207893"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_10_1","first-page":"3","volume-title":"Feminist theorize the political","author":"Butler J","year":"1992"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_11_1","volume-title":"Bodies that matte: On the discursive limits of \u2018sex\u2019","author":"Butler J","year":"1993"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_12_1","volume-title":"Gender trouble: Feminism and the subversion of identity","author":"Butler J","year":"1999"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_13_1","first-page":"2","volume-title":"Bulletin: Information for consumer\/survivors of the mental health system, those who serve us, and those who care about us","author":"Costa L","year":"2008"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/0954025032000042167"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_15_1","volume-title":"Evidence\u2010based practice: A primer for health care professionals","author":"Dawes M","year":"2005"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_16_1","volume-title":"A thousand plateaus: Capitalism and schizophrenia","author":"Deleuze G","year":"1987"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1077800410364608"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_18_1","first-page":"645","volume-title":"Handbook of qualitative research","author":"Denzin N","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_19_1","volume-title":"Of grammatology","author":"Derrida J","year":"1974"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_20_1","volume-title":"Writing and difference","author":"Derrida J","year":"1978"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_21_1","volume-title":"The archaeology of knowledge","author":"Foucault M","year":"1974"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_22_1","volume-title":"The body","author":"Fox N","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203422311","volume-title":"Deconstructing evidence\u2010based practice","author":"Freshwater D","year":"2004"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1207\/S15327957PSPR0603_2"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_25_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/13505084030103006"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_26_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0959354306064278"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_27_1","volume-title":"Relational being: Beyond self and community","author":"Gergen K","year":"2009"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_28_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1363459312438563"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_29_1","volume-title":"Our encounters with madness","author":"Grant A","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_30_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Whose story is it?
