Critical Thinking and the Process of Evidence-Based Practice
Eileen Gambrill
Reviews and Awards
"Written by a master of the craft, Critical Thinking and the Process of Evidence-Based Practice provides an excellent overview and in-depth analysis of these topics. All practitioners in the health and human services will benefit from reading this impressive new book! Eileen Gambrill does an admirable job of distinguishing the original process model of real evidence-based practice from the far less sophisticated model of simply choosing interventions based on research findings, and she is naturally critical of labeling certain treatment as 'evidence-based' when the actual research literature fails to justify such a claim." Bruce A. Thyer, PhD, LCSW, BCBA-D, Distinguished Research Professor, College of Social Work, Florida State University
"An invaluable and remarkably comprehensive resource for how to think clearly and critically about clinical practice. It's a gold mine of enormously useful information for practitioners, researchers, instructors, and students alike. If all clinicians-in-training were to follow Gambrill's wise counsel, our field's woes would be largely healed." Scott O. Lilienfeld, PhD, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor, Department of Psychology, Emory University; Editor, Clinical Psychological Science
"Professor Eileen Gambrill has knocked it out of the park with her new book, Critical Thinking and the Process of Evidence-Based Practice. Always placing clients' interests front and center, Gambrill integrates, expands on, and elucidates her earlier work on critical thinking, problem-solving, interpersonal communication, decision-making, and evidence-based practice. Novice and seasoned helping professionals alike will benefit from Gambrill's clear and comprehensive explication of knowledge, skills, and values to enhance the effectiveness of professional practice." Joanne Yaffe, PhD, ACSW, Professor of Social Work and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry, College of Social Work, University of Utah
