About the Book

In Critical Thinking and the Process of Evidence-Based Practice, Eileen Gambrill provides a focused overview of the implementation of evidence-based practices necessary for competent and ethical practice. This authoritative book introduces readers to the origins and controversies regarding evidence-based practices and concisely addresses the most common obstacles practitioners encounter. Though evidence-based practice (EBP) is designed to help individual practitioners and clients make informed decisions, since its early development, misunderstandings about what does and does not qualify as scientifically-sound findings have led to widespread misrepresentations of EBP's role in the profession. This text addresses the most widely encountered misunderstandings, and guides readers through the necessary steps of making decisions based on both knowledge and ignorance. The book further discusses ethical and evidentiary issues, and includes chapters on clinical expertise, argumentation, avoiding fallacies, and common organizational and personal obstacles to optimizing the quality of services. It will serve as a necessary resource to professionals as well as students in the helping professions.

Review :
"As the book provides a clear summary of the scientific method as a whole, with concise summaries of potential pitfalls when applying this, it would also be of significant value for students, trainees, and anyone involved in designing and appraising research." -- Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy "Written by a master of the craft, Critical Thinking and the Process of Evidence-Based Practice provides an excellent overview and in-depth analysis of these topics. All practitioners in the health and human services will benefit from reading this impressive new book! Eileen Gambrill does an admirable job of distinguishing the original process model of real evidence-based practice from the far less sophisticated model of simply choosing interventions based on research findings, and she is naturally critical of labeling certain treatment as 'evidence-based' when the actual research literature fails to justify such a claim." Bruce A. Thyer, PhD, LCSW, BCBA-D, Distinguished Research Professor, College of Social Work, Florida State University "An invaluable and remarkably comprehensive resource for how to think clearly and critically about clinical practice. It's a gold mine of enormously useful information for practitioners, researchers, instructors, and students alike. If all clinicians-in-training were to follow Gambrill's wise counsel, our field's woes would be largely healed." Scott O. Lilienfeld, PhD, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor, Department of Psychology, Emory University; Editor, Clinical Psychological Science "Professor Eileen Gambrill has knocked it out of the park with her new book, Critical Thinking and the Process of Evidence-Based Practice. Always placing clients' interests front and center, Gambrill integrates, expands on, and elucidates her earlier work on critical thinking, problem-solving, interpersonal communication, decision-making, and evidence-based practice. Novice and seasoned helping professionals alike will benefit from Gambrill's clear and comprehensive explication of knowledge, skills, and values to enhance the effectiveness of professional practice." Joanne Yaffe, PhD, ACSW, Professor of Social Work and Adjunct Professor of Psychiatry, College of Social Work, University of Utah
