The information which Dr. Elliott Dacher MD weaves for the future of medicine, health, and healing is profound. He developed An Integral Map for medicine using Ken Wilber's integral theory, infusing wisdom from many years of experience in practicing in the field and teaching the principles to medical students. Having personally integrated and applied the work of Aurobindo, he believes this to be foundational to integral theory.
Dr. Dacher says " Integral medicine will consider each aspect of the human experience - biological, psychospiritual, interpersonal and social -- as well as the full developmental process of each of these aspects of our life that matures our humanity from an unconscious physical instinctual reactivity, to an intellectual knowledge, to a spiritual wisdom; allowing growth of mind to spirit; from a limited and partial health to a profound and perfected health."

Dr. Larry Dossey says, "Dr. Elliott Dacher has closed the loop between modern medicine and ancient wisdom by constructing a vision of healing that honors all that we are--body, mind, and spirit. This book is nothing less than the future of healing."
