This latest book by Dr. Linda Elder introduces a substantive theory of critical thinking to the field of mental health therapy and details a broad, integrated set of critical thinking tools for use in self-therapy and professional therapy. It is for the individual seeking a more enlightened, more fulfilled, less fearful, and less self-defeating orientation to the world. It is also for those who are aware that they are not now reaching their potential and who seek a self-actualizing frame of mind. This book vastly broadens and deepens the critical thinking concepts and principles explicitly available to therapists; it is therefore recommended for use by therapists with clients, as well as for clients and individuals working alone.
      “Who doesn’t want to live a happier life in work, parenting, friendships, finances and all of its dimensions? In Critical Thinking Therapy, Linda Elder blends her extensive theoretical knowledge and teaching experiences to guide readers on new ways to achieve these goals—using explicit tools for better thinking. Her sane advice and easy exercises, if taken seriously, should help pave the way towards better mental well-being and greater self-fulfillment.” — Elizabeth Loftus, PhD, Distinguished Professor of Psychological Science, University of California, Irvine, named by APA as one of the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century
