Critical thinking is taught at all universities, often put forward by lecturers as the key skill that can most dramatically improve a student's understanding of a course and transform their writing. It pervades research methods teaching, critical psychology, and a range of other core curriculum elements, in exactly the same way that critical thinking pervades any discipline, and indeed, life generally. But what is it, exactly, and how can we apply it specifically to the field of psychology? In his relaxed and accessible style, Mark Forshaw takes modern real-world examples from psychology and everyday life to lighten the learning of critical thinking, explaining what it entails, why it is important, and how it can be applied to this fascinating field of study.

Product description

Review

‘Critical Thinking for Psychology addresses one of the hottest topics in contemporary psychology, that of the importance of robust critical thinking as a skill necessary for underpinning scientific endeavour. Engaging, relevant and refreshingly waffle-free, Forshaw’s focus on ‘‘polite scepticism’’ encourages the reader to take the ‘‘critic’’ out of critical thinking and offers credible and practical advice on how best to develop and apply creative and common-sense critical thought to literature evaluation, essay writing and making the most of feedback.’
―Nikki Newhouse, Editor of PsychTalk Magazine

‘An essential component of all psychology degrees is described, explained and developed in a cogent and practical manner: An excellent text for all undergraduate students.’
―Professor Dominic Upton, University of Worcester

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any Psychology student's bookcase

Simple and straight forward explanations of Critical Thinking and all of the fallacies used in arguments. Built up to suggested approaches to incorporating critical thinking into arguments, and 'training' of a critical mindset. I enjoyed completing the critical questions posed at the end of each chapter.

I found this a very easy read, simply put with analogies (such as Amazon reviews and how critical, or not they may be) that helped reinforce particular points. I read it in two days as it was so engaging and it really did make me reflect. I just hope it helps when I put it into practice writing essays.
