  This is an article by Cheryl Mattingly in AJOT about clinical reasoning in occupational therapy. This article expresses a little bit of a different take on defining clinical reasoning. The author discusses common definitions of clinical reasoning that are most often associated with scientific data and theory. However, Mattingly states these textbook definitions do not give enough credit to the understanding and knowledge that comes through patient interaction and experience with different patients from different backgrounds over time. She argues therapists do not use a simple theory or set of data and apply it to our patients because our profession is more humanistic than many professions.
