Summary
"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"-- "This book is about critical thinking applied to
psychology. In order to do just that, I have to take you on a
journey somewhat, into other areas first"--
