Abstract

This report on the First International Congress on Whole Person Care, sponsored by McGill University, is based on the experiences of two attending authors who developed a poster of Integral Theory that emphasized the importance of taking multiple perspectives in all areas of human inquiry to allow a "big picture" perspective on medicine. Interiors (thoughts, intentions, will) of both physician and patient are as important as the exteriors (measurable parameters, such as lab results) which are often emphasized.
