What Can We Control in the Lower Right Quadrant?
In the "Apps" section of an article on the Integral Model, the article has this to say about the Lower Left quadrant and it's relationship to Integral Medicine:
"Of course, in practice, this quadrant needs to be limited to those factors that can be effectively engaged—perhaps doctor and patient communication skills, family and friends support groups, and a general understanding of cultural judgments and their effects on illness. Studies consistently show, for example, that cancer patients in support groups live longer than those without similar cultural support. Some of the more relevant factors from the Lower-Left quadrant are thus crucial in any comprehensive medical care."
One wonders, then, what an individual or organization can control in the Lower Right quadrant. Is it only so that we are, as I have read, "integrally-informed" or are there factors that we can "effectively engage" in the Lower Right? Hmmm.
