title: Clinical reasoning and pain.
abstract: Clinical reasoning is reviewed with respect to the historical and continuing need for critical inquiry skills, the hypothetico-deductive basis of sound reasoning, factors influencing therapists' reasoning, and ways of promoting critical yet creative reasoning. The importance of clinicians' organisation of biomedical and clinical knowledge and the inclusion of the patient in the problem solving and decision making processes are emphasised.
