The Routledge International Handbook of Thinking and Reasoning is
an authoritative reference work providing a balanced overview of
current scholarship spanning the full breadth of the rapidly
developing and expanding field of thinking and reasoning. It
contains 35 chapters written by leading international researchers,
covering foundational issues as well as state-of-the-art
developments in thinking and reasoning research. Topics covered
range across all sub-areas of thinking and reasoning, including
deduction, induction, abduction, judgment, decision making,
argumentation, problem solving, expertise, creativity and
rationality. The contributors engage with cutting-edge debates such
as the status of dual-process theories of thinking, the role of
unconscious, intuitive, emotional and metacognitive processes in
thinking, and the importance of probabilistic conceptualisations of
thinking and reasoning. Authors also examine the importance of
neuroscientific findings in informing theoretical developments, and
explore the situated nature of thinking and reasoning across a
range of real-world contexts such as mathematics, medicine and
science. The Handbook provides a clear sense of the way in which
contemporary ideas are challenging traditional viewpoints as "new
paradigm of the psychology of reasoning" emerges. This
paradigm-shifting research is paving the way toward a richer and
more inclusive understanding of thinking and reasoning, where
important new questions drive a forward-looking research agenda. It
is essential reading for both established researchers in the field
of thinking and reasoning as well as advanced students wishing to
learn more about both the historical foundations and latest
developments in this rapidly growing field.
Human mental capacities and processes are the raw materials with
which psychotherapists work. Thus what cognitive scientists have
discovered in recent decades is potentially tremendous value for
psychotherapeutic practice. But the new knowledge is not readily
accessible to therapists, who find both language and methodology
off-putting. The Mind in Therapy bridges the gap. It offers a
comprehensive overview of the relevant range of cognitive
activities, ranging from complex mental operations such as problem
solving, decision making, reasoning, and metacognition to basic
functions such as attention, memory, and emotion. The authors
integrate key new findings about the interaction between cognition
and emotion, inhibition, and counterfactual thinking--processes
that loom large in practice. Each chapter reviews an area of
cognitive research, clearly explains the findings, and highlights
their implications and applications in diverse models of
therapy--cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, humanistic, and
family. Each includes case vignettes that illustrate the ways in
which the concepts are important and useful in practice. All
therapists rely on the human mind to effect the change they seek.
The clearer understanding of human cognitive capacities,
idiosyncrasies, and limitations--their own as well as
clients'--that they will gain from this book will enhance the
effectiveness of both beginning and experienced practitioners,
whatever their orientation.

There is a growing acknowledgement of the importance of integrating
the study of reasoning with other areas of cognitive psychology.
The purpose of this volume is to examine the extent to which we can
further our understanding of reasoning by integrating findings,
theories and paradigms in the field of memory. Reasoning as Memory
consists of nine chapters that make explicit links between basic
memory process, and reasoning and decision-making. The contributors
address a number of key topics including: the relationship between
semantic memory and reasoning the role of expert memory in
reasoning recognition memory and induction working memory and
reasoning metamemory in reasoning. In addition, the chapters
provide broad coverage of the field of thinking, and invite the
intriguing question of how much there is left to explain in the
field of reasoning when one has extracted the variance due to
memory. This book will be of great interest to advanced
undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers interested in
reasoning or decision making, and to researchers interested in the
role played in cognition by a variety of memory processes.
