Critical Thinking for Helping Professionals: A Skills-Based Workbook

By Eileen Gambrill and Leonard Gibbs

Critical Thinking for Helping Professionals, Fourth Edition draws on research concerning decision making, judgment, problem solving, and expertise to create 37 hands-on exercises designed to enhance critical thinking values, knowledge, and skills which are integral to evidence-based practice. Attention is devoted to ignorance as well as knowledge - including ignorance promoted by special interests and ignorance that is self-inflicted through lack of knowledge about common biases and fallacies that impede informed decision making. The text is ideal for graduate as well as undergraduate courses in research and practice.
