Easy for me--Critical Thinking about Psychology--I use an additional;
text in all my intro classes on this topic, and there are many and
many that I am partial to--I like the one by Bensley and the one by
Stanovich.
If nothing else, they need to learn skills they can apply across their
life spans in discriminating good from bad information, especially
since there is a high probability they will need to be able to assess
a therapist or therapy for its effectiveness--whether in psychology
or in medical treatments.
This will also allow them to more criticaly evaluate their own
reading of published literature in secondary sources or popular
books and magazines.
I look forward to others' responses.
