Reflecting on my assignment, or reflecting on what to put in my assignment, has been a confusing and illuminating process. It's not been clear cut, although starting out I kind of thought/hoped it would be. But clinical reasoning is not clear cut, so how can an assignment be clear cut? It's about reading and understanding, and re-reading when I realise I have not properly understood, and about breaking down and putting back together. Lots of people have said almost the same thing, but not entirely the same, which is why I find it tricky. Cos when you go to put it down on the paper I suddenly feel less confident about who said what and why that is different to the other.
So finding out 3 track mind isn't the be-all and end-all of clinical reasoning was quite a shock... They seem to be the gurus and their study was so earth shattering I guess I never thought to question it. We are still impressed by numbers I guess. A 2 year long ethnography is pretty impressive, although when I went back to look at the study, I found 1) yes there were mental health OTs 2) all hospital based 3) no men!
No men! I bet that skewed the results a lot. Wonder if anyone's thought of that.
