This paper offers a concept of clinical reasoning that differs from many of the traditional definitions of clinical reasoning in occupational therapy and the health professions in general. Here, clinical reasoning in occupational therapy is described as a largely tacit, highly imagistic, and deeply phenomenological mode of thinking. It is argued that clinical reasoning involves more than the ability to offer explicit reasons that justify clinical decisions because it is also based on tacit understanding and habitual knowledge gained through experience. Clinical reasoning also involves more than a simple application of theory, particularly theory as understood in the natural sciences, because complex clinical tasks often require that the therapist improvise a treatment approach that addresses the unique meaning of disability as it relates to a particular patient.

There is increasing interest in better defining and meeting the non-medical needs of patients with chronic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We surveyed patients with RA about the importance of eight psyche-social and eight educational issues, and asked patients from what source they preferred to get help with these issues and which sources they would not use. We also looked at individual variables, including sex, age, disease duration, and disease severity, to see if they affected patients' choices. The issues rated most important by patients included communicating with the doctor, understanding medication, dealing with pain, and the effects of arthritis on energy level, the future, and work. Most patients preferred to seek help from their physicians, although up to 75% were willing to attend groups, and 68% were willing to see individual counselors for some issues.

As we move into the 21st century, there are increasing demands placed on occupational therapists to ensure their practice is based on sound evidence. Evidence-based practice is an approach to clinical decision making that has gained considerable interest and influence during the last decade. This article describes and explains the process of evidence-based practice and its application to clinical occupational therapy practice. Directions for resources that may assist therapists' self-directed
learning are also provided. As health care becomes more evidence-based, awareness of the principles, skills, and resources for evidence-based practice is of relevance to all occupational therapists.

This article from AOTA discusses how to file an ethics complaint. We took many classes on ethical practice and ethical dilemmas but never really talked about how to file a formal complaint. This could be important some day!
