“…Some authors use a memory and information-processing approach (e.g., Schmidt et al, 1990), others appeal to the expert versus novice reasoning literature (e.g., Norman, Brooks, & Allen, 1989), and some combine the two to build a model of clinical reasoning (e.g., Nurius & Nicoll, 1992). Further, some promote the use of actuarial techniques such as statistical prediction rules (Swets, Dawes, & Monahan, 2000), while others emphasize databased pattern recognition (e.g., Coderre, Mandin, Harasym, & Fick, 2003;Patel & Groen, 1986).…”

Clinical reasoning has traditionally been understood in terms of either hypothetico-deductive or Bayesian methods. However, clinical psychology requires an organizing framework that goes beyond the limits of these methods and characterizes the full range of reasoning processes involved in the description, understanding, and formulation of the difficulties presented by clients. In this article, the authors present a framework for clinical reasoning and case formulation that is largely based on a broad abductive theory of scientific method (Haig, 2005b). The abductive theory articulates and combines the processes of phenomena detection and theory construction. Both of these processes are applied to clinical reasoning and case formulation, and a running case example is provided to illustrate the application.

“…According to Nurius and Nicoll (1992), for example, expert speech pathologists hold their knowledge in "highly elaborated knowledge structures that serve as central organising concepts" (Nurius & Nicoll, 1992, p. 709). Such structures allow experts, when presented with a given case context, to make rapid inferences about patient condition, working backwards to observable behaviours in order to confirm the inference, and forwards to a diagnosis selected from a small set of probable diagnoses.…”

his paper discusses the application of computer-based instruction to the acquisition of diagnostic expertise. In T the first section we outline arguments for the application of computer-based instruction to the acquisition and maintenance of diagnostic expertise. In the second we identify variables that are critical to the design of effective computerbased instruction for this purpose. In the third section we discuss and review a specific application involving acquired neurogenic communication disorders following stroke. The issues and arguments raised here apply to any form of skill where expertise depends on the mastery and use of case knowledge.

A sample of mental health professionals listed in the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology was surveyed to examine attitudes with regard to the generalizability of findings from clinical judgment research, general beliefs and practices about clinical judgment, and knowledge of scholarly articles and books in the clinical judgment literature. Of the participants, 98.1% were doctoral‐level psychologists engaged in clinical practice. Results suggested that participants consistently agreed that tasks used in studies of clinical judgment were not representative of the types of activities performed in their clinical practice. Respondents believed that the study of clinical judgment was important and that research could have meaningful implications for their clinical practice. Participants' knowledge of the judgment literature was significantly lower than expected.
