Critical Thinking in Clinical Practice, Second Edition is designed to enhance readers′ skills in making well–informed, ethical decisions. Making such decisions is no easy task. Decisions are made in uncertain, changing environments with time pressures. Interested parties, such as the pharmaceutical industry, spend millions of dollars to influence decisions made. Drawing on a wide range of related literature, this book describes common pitfalls in clinical reasoning as well as strategies for avoiding them––sometimes called mind–tools. Mental health and allied professionals will come away from this text with knowledge of how classification decisions, a focus on pathology, and reliance on popularity can cause errors. Hazards involved in data collection and team decision making such as groupthink are discussed.
Part 1 provides an overview of the context in which clinicians make decisions.
Part 2 describes common sources of error.
Part 3 describes decision aids including the process of evidence–based practice.
Part 4 describes the application of related content to different helping phases including assessment, intervention, and evaluation.
Part 5 suggests obstacles to making well–informed decisions and how to encourage lifelong learning.
This new Second Edition has been completely updated with expanded coverage on:
- Evidence–based practice
- Screening issues and practice errors
- Lifelong learning
- Problem solving
- Decision making
