Announcing the Release of Critical Thinking Therapy: For Happiness and Self-Actualization - January 20, 2025
Dr. Linda Elder's latest book introduces a substantive theory of critical thinking to the field of mental health therapy. It 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 for those who are aware that they are not now reaching their potential and who seek a self-actualizing frame of mind; and it 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.
Copies are available in full color and in black and white.
