Abstract
To complement our companion study of critical thinking in introductory psychology textbooks and ancillary workbooks and readers, ave describ e 12 critical thinking books that instructors could use as supplements in psychology courses. Some books strongly emphasize skills in evalua ting arguments, whereas others stress methodology and biases in thinki ng. Although the breadth and depth of most of these books limit their use in a one-term introductory course, they fit comfortably in, a two- term course. We suggest alternative ways to incorporate supplementary critical thinking books into the psychology curriculum.
