"Although there are other books that address enhancing critical thinking, none of them includes the variety of data-based approaches included in this one. Further, it uniquely has a focus on teaching psychology, making it an invaluable resource for teachers of psychology at all educational levels." Bill Hill, Kennesaw State University "Dunn, Halonen, and Smith provide a comprehensive resource that includes empirical support and practical applications for teaching in ways that will help students to think critically. This book is destined to become the seminal resource for teaching critical thinking in psychology and related disciplines." - Maureen McCarthy, Kennesaw State University and President of Society for the Teaching of Psychology (2008)
