This edited book of readings, intended for undergraduates, graduate students, as well as teachers, researchers, and practicing clinicians, introduces readers to the basic principles of scientific thinking in clinical psychology and allied fields. It is the first to focus exclusively on teaching students how to think scientifically about clinical practice. The user-friendly and accessible readings provide students with basic critical thinking skills needed to evaluate evidence concerning the assessment, causes, and treatment of mental disorders, and will allow students to become better informed consumers of the literature in clinical psychology, counseling psychology, social work, psychiatry, and other allied disciplines. It will also be an indispensable guide to graduate students in training, as it will help them how to think critically about psychotherapy and other domains of clinical practice. The book consists of classic selections about both science in general and clinical science in particular, and should be required reading for all students who aspire to become mental health professionals.
