Matthews Model of Clinical Reasoning: A Systematic Guide to Occupation-Based Evaluation and Intervention Planning


Add your own review!

Overview

The Matthews Model of Clinical Reasoning (MMCR) provides occupational therapy practitioners with a systematic approach to develop their clinical reasoning skills during the evaluation and intervention process when collaborating with persons served across multiple practice locations. The three core constructs of person, environment, and occupation lay the foundation for practitioners to compartmentalize information from selected evaluations, determine relevant intervention priorities, implement occupation-based intervention plans, and interpret successful outcomes. This book, influenced by these constructs, the practice framework, and accreditation standards for academic preparedness, provides the reader with the foundational information on how to apply the core constructs using a MMCR systematic approach for evaluation and intervention. Within the chapters are a variety of instructional methods, interviews with practitioners of various levels of experience, and case study examples. Clinical reasoning guidesheets are presented to assist the reader to follow the MMCR clinical reasoning process in terms of evaluation findings, application of frame of reference (FOR)/practice models, intervention strategies, and documentation. Occupational therapy students and practitioners will be provided with the foundational skills to systematically think about and apply the steps of the clinical reasoning process, starting with a person’s evaluation through the completion of the intervention plan.

Reviews

"""The Matthews Model of Clinical Reasoning: A Systematic Guide to Occupation-Based Evaluation and Intervention Planning is a book both for occupational therapy students and seasoned practitioners. It offers a new model for understanding our clients and developing client—centered evaluations and intervention plans. It provides not only a theoretical base from which to build depth but also detailed information in a step-by step approach to assessment and treatment. Students will find this approach instructive while seasoned practitioners will find a new model method to add to their repertoire of client-centered care."" Victoria P. Schindler, PhD, OTR, BCMH, FAOTA, co-editor, Occupational Therapy in Mental Health, Professor Emeritus, Stockton University ""The Matthews Model of Clinical Reasoning presents a refreshing approach to the field of occupational therapy. It differs from the antiquated ways of past thinking by emphasizing a person’s life story rather than diagnosis. As an occupational therapist who switched practice areas after an extended absence from the profession, this model presented in a user-friendly format, was a great resource that taught me how to be more client-centered and occupation-based throughout the evaluation and intervention process for the people I serve. Dr. Knis-Matthews is an innovative changemaker whose book takes us on an exciting person-centered journey, creating a ripple effect from educator to student to future practitioner."" Mary-Jo Zinnie, licensed occupational therapist with 25 years of experience ""As a student in the midst of level II fieldwork, the MMCR model has provided me with a blueprint to strategize a person’s evaluation and intervention process. While I learned foundational information in my occupational therapy courses, this book presents, in a visual and friendly manner, how to apply this knowledge into practice. By examining the MMCR model case study chapters, I am able to generalize my clinical reasoning skills across various practice settings, evaluation findings, a person’s worldviews, and multiple occupational performance issues. I recommend this book to any student wanting to learn more about applying clinical reasoning and ways to approach occupation-based intervention in a clinical setting."" Jessica Onorati, OTS, occupational therapy student currently in level 2 fieldwork"
