“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.”

“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.”

“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.”
