Spanish term or phrase: no está contrapuesta a la medicina narrativa

Es por esto que debemos trabajar desde la Medicina Basada en la Evidencia, que no está contrapuesta a la medicina narrativa ni a otros enfoques necesarios, la investigación rigurosa.

This is the sentence I'm having difficulty with. I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.

is not contrary to narrative medicine

Explanation:
"Narrative medicine" is a well-established term (see Wikipedia, for example). The sentence does seem a bit disjointed though. Should it read "...necesarios PARA la investigación rigurosa"?

is not against narrative medicine

Explanation:
Narrative Medicine fortifies clinical practice with the narrative competence to recognize, absorb, metabolize, interpret, and be moved by the stories of illness. Through narrative training, the Program in Narrative Medicine helps doctors, nurses, social workers, and therapists to improve the effectiveness of care by developing the capacity for attention, reflection, representation, and affiliation with patients and colleagues. Our research and outreach missions are conceptualizing, evaluating, and spear-heading these ideas and practices nationally and internationally.
http://www.narrativemedicine.org/

Narrative medicine had its start in such related efforts as patient-centered care and medical humanities. The clinical cousin of literature-and-medicine, narrative medicine takes those skills that one develops as a close reader or a reflective writer and bends them toward effective clinical practice. The close reader -- whether of fiction, poetry, or memoir -- follows the narrative thread of a story, enters into the teller's narrative world, and sees how that teller makes sense of it. The close reader identifies the images and metaphors, recognizes the temporal flow of events, follows allusions to other stories, and is imaginatively transported to wherever the story might take the one who surrenders to it.http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/520704

I have just looked at this sentence again and it is the

"la invetigación rigurosa que no está contrapuesta a la medicina narrativa"...

This is how I read it.

Rigorous investigation is not contrasted/compared to narrative medicine.

IMO

the author is very much FOR evidence-based medicine, rather than narrative-based medicine.
