Critical Thinking for Helping Professionals: A Skills-Based Workbook 4th Edition Pdf Book Description:

Critical thinking principles, abilities, and knowledge are essential to evidence-based clinic in the helping professions. Inflated claims of wisdom, both from the media in addition to in the peer-reviewed literature, reveal critical thinking to become more important to lower the effect of marketing at the guise of scholarship. Practitioners have to be able and prepared to think seriously about decisions which affect customers’ lives. This requires decreasing the effect of cognitive and affective biases, for example hindsight bias, and preventing misleading framing of issues that might damage customers but contribute to the benefit of involved businesses (e.g. dismissing environmental resources of distress and focusing on customer characteristics).

Exercises are included to help students improve their abilities in the practice of evidence-based clinic, such as posing clear, applicable inquiries and finding and critically assessing associated study. This fourth version of Critical Thinking for Licensed Professionals is for pupils of assisting professions such as social work, nursing, and nursing, and psychology. Decision-making skills directed by an ethical compass are critical in most helping professions.
