Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice

"Eileen Gambrill is unparalleled in her ability to describe common flaws and biases in clinical decision-making. The result in this revised edition is a steadfast call for change that also acknowledges the demands of practice. A must-read for clinicians and researchers alike."
—Elizabeth K. Anthony, PhD, Assistant Professor, School of Social Work, Arizona State University

"This third edition builds upon the impressive strengths of Gambrill's prior treatments of the topic to support the notion that critical thinking is a teachable skill, and one essential for contemporary practice in the human services. This book should be the default authority on the topic of critical thinking for human service professionals, and would be an excellent textbook."
—Bruce A. Thyer, Ph.D., LCSW, Professor and former Dean, College of Social Work, Florida State University

"I was skeptical about how Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice could be improved, but Eileen Gambrill has succeeded! Her articulation of critical thinking skills for clinical decisions ultimately will benefit the people whom we serve."
—Joanne Yaffe, PhD, ACSW, Associate Professor of Social Work, Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry, College of Social Work, University of Utah

"A remarkable book and an invaluable resource for students, practitioners, teachers, and researchers.  It is the best available resource for teaching practitioners across all disciplines how to think scientifically about their subject matter. If Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice were required reading in all social work, psychology, and counseling graduate programs, these fields – and the state of mental health care – would be in far better scientific shape."
—Scott O. Lilienfeld, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Emory University
