Study Notes
Types of Clinical Reasoning in Occupational Therapy
- Scientific Reasoning: uses applied logical and scientific methods, involves hypotheses, pattern recognition, theories, statistical evidence, and focuses on diagnosis/diagnosis, condition, and guiding theory.
- Diagnostic Reasoning: involves investigative reasoning and analysis, blends scientific reasoning with client-centered information, and focuses on personal and impersonal information.
Narrative Reasoning
- Attempts to understand the client's circumstance through narrative/story
- Considers the effect of the illness, disability, performance skills, activities, and occupations impacted, as well as client and family/social support
- Focuses on personal (past, present, future) and is client-centered and culturally sensitive
Pragmatic Reasoning
- Concerned with therapeutic interventions and realities of service delivery (scheduling, payment, equipment, and therapist skills)
- Focuses on physical, social, and payment aspects, as well as therapists' skills and time
- Typically not client-centered
Procedural Reasoning
- Involves interventions that are routines for identified conditions, based on science and reflecting habits and culture of the setting
- Focuses on routines and interventions typical of treatment options used in the setting
Ethical Reasoning
- Used to analyze ethical dilemmas and identify alternative solutions and actions
- Involves a systematic approach to figure out the ethical course of action
Interactive Reasoning
- Involves collaborative identification of problems and problem-solving with clients
- Focuses on client-centered, empathetic, and encourages client participation in the therapeutic process
- Seeks to understand the diagnosis from the client's perspective
Conditional Reasoning
- Blends different types of reasoning to best fit the client's needs
- Focuses on applying multiple clinical reasoning approaches, typically used by experienced therapists
- Client-centered, considering present and future needs
Collaborative Reasoning
