the reasoning behind intervention
this book looks at the different types of reasoning that therapist suggested in a research project (BJOT therapist with a 3-track mind). the book suggests 4 types of reasoning. Procedural, conditional and interactive (3-track) and narrative reasoning. However the book is quite difficult to follow and some what repetative in case studies used and leaves the reader still slightly confused as to clinical reasoning, but like it states in the book, we do not have enough words to explain what we do and more importantly the reasons why we do it. 'i cant explain why, just watch me' said the fieldwork educator to the student.
