A concise edition of the original book Critical Thinking Therapy by Dr. Linda Elder. Like the larger book, it 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 provides activities and diagrams that assist and guide 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 is recommended for use by clients, in tandem with their therapists, as well as for clients and individuals working alone.
      “Shout out to anyone interested in self-enquiry, reflection, learning, contemplating, inspiration and growth—whether you are in the healing professions or not!!! …This book is written with immense skill and clarity … including many activities and exercises that encourage self-awareness and knowledge … this book could be considered by many as a Self-Help Workshop, Nourishment for the Intellect, and in parts—a Spa for the Mind!”  —Dr. Debbie Joffe Ellis, Psychologist; Coauthor with Albert Ellis of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
