What are the costs and benefits to different involved parties of certain definitions and proposed remedies?

This means paying attention to the process of reasoning (how we think), not just the product. Critical thinking encourages us to examine the context in which problems occur (to connect private troubles with public issues; Mills, 1959), to view questions from different points of view, to identify and question our assumptions, and to consider the possible consequences of different beliefs or actions. CRITICAL THINKING IS INTEGRAL TO EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE Critical thinking knowledge, skills, and values are integral to evidencebased practice (EBP).
Thinking critically about practice beliefs and judgments should increase the accuracy of decisions. Informal fallacies and weak rhetorical appeals used in human service propaganda will be less likely to be influential, and clinicians may be more aware of cognitive biases that influence their judgments. Enhancing the quality of reasoning should provide useful problem-solving skills, such as deciding what questions to ask, what data to gather, and what factors to relate to problems. Selection of weak or ineffective practice methods may be avoided by a search for alternative views of problems and by consulting high-quality research reviews related to specific practice methods, such as those in the Cochrane and Campbell databases.
