Integral Health

The Integral Health pod [formerly Integral Fitness] seeks to explore and implement an AQAL approach to health. However, we will not limit ourselves to Wilberian versions of integral; we seek all forms of integral understanding that can help us live healthier lives.

We will look at fitness and health through all the quadrants, levels, lines, and states.

Spiral Dynamics of Health Care

Monica said Jul 26, 2006, 8:54 AM:
 

Perhaps I am going out on a limb here, but I am interested in exploring health care from this developmental model. We are going to use Don Becks model to assess the stages of health and health care according to 1st  tier and  perhaps speculate into 2nd tier memes. This includes ALL aspects of health and health care. I will have a heading for each meme with sub-headings that will adress these areas:

Meme : Definition , World View , and  Manisfestations

People:  Health care needs, health care staus, illness (?)

Health Care providers: Treatments, role, duties

Self Care: In what capcity do  the individuals have to do this? What are the best medical. nursing. natropathic, preventative etc practives to introduce at this time?

Policy: What, if any policy issues are needed here? { Money, free market, governmental responsibility}

These are just a few ideas..please add anything that I might have missed or if you think that I am way of the mark. I will start. Happy brainstorming friends! Sorry that this is so assignment like…….

You can get basic information from www.wie.org/spiral/

Add your email address and open up a free trial of interactive model for SDi.

Thanks for participating!

I am all for developing developmental models in all areas of application. I’ll need some time to process some of this. I am on the WIE mailing list, and know about K. Wilber.

According my to understanding, a meme is a stage of development, in any form, that are fuid and have the ability to “transcend and include” from one stage to the next. I believe that there are many different definitions of this but as it relates to Spiral Dynamics I think that basically this is what is meant. Does anyone else have thoughts on this?

It's a bit more complex than that. The proper term is a vMEME, defined as the most basic information units in our collective consciosuness that transport their views across our minds (straight out of Don Becks' SDi book).

Conceptually a MEME is equated to the GENE (biological unit), but related to how we create our individual and collective reality, our values, our thoughts (not our bodies and organs, etc).

Also see Wikipedia's very complete definition HERE, including the reference to Clare Graves, from whom Don Beck learned all of this — and then greatly popularized so effectively so that people like us can actually get it!

hey Fernando,
thanks for the proper definition! ah the vMEME. Greatful to Don Beck for adapting SDi for the rest of us folks here. I adaptapted my definition from KW Theory of Everything, just to keep it simple and help others gain a general understanding of this in order to apply it to health care.

g'day, in light of the definition posted on Wikipedia that fernando pointed out, it seems another heading is necessary in the framework for discussion. That is v-meme (not sure how to make a small elevated v)

1 2 Ways Healthcare Providers Gain from Spiral Dynamics integral


Gains for : Patients, Healthcare Providers, Healthcare Systems, Healthcare Research & Development

1. SDi is natural - health practices developed with SDi natural design principles enable the natural health of users

2. SDi transcends and includes multiple health modalities - users can systematically build upon and re-frame their knowledge, relationships and awareness of self, others and the world as they adapt health practices in SDi influenced environments

3. SDi is a framework of healing frameworks - users develop strategies for learning and organizing ever complexifying health practices, content, context and consequences

4. SDi builds capacity - it offers a way of seeing the world that expands with the user and practitioner and stretches their views in a natural, evolutionary way

5. SDi is based on research - the approach to health “as a never ending quest” is flexible for multi-cultural, trans-cultural, and global cultural health environments

6. SDi is a natural design tool for health practitioners - it provides a developmental framework to create appropriate health delivery modes, practices and knowledge domains

7. SDi presents four health lenses: bio/psycho/cultural/social – practitioners can use these four lenses to organize and deliver healing, health practices and information to multiple environments

8. SDi gives health practitioners a tool to relate to the (often differing) perspectives of community, families, individuals and healers - health practitioners can build bridges between patients and families and the community and vice versa

9. SDi offers a framework of health practice frameworks that embraces horizontal, vertical and adaptive conditions - this enables flexibility and resilience as well as coherent responses to health and healing in a variety of life conditions

10. SDi is a framework for comprehensive interventions – this enables appropriate, effective and more successful delivery and patient experience

11 . SDi provides a multi-disciplinary platform for organizing whole health practices, clinics, institutions and health systems to expand capacity and improve efficiency and effectiveness at all levels of scale - this enables organizational strategic, accountable and systemic achievement

12. SDi is a framework for research– for example, studying patient perceived barriers to successful illness management from all 4 quadrants

Where is SDi being used in healthcare? Community Health Nursing, Vancouver Island; University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Nursing; Prairieview Community Mental Health System, Kansas; Dr. Kenneth Salyer Cranial Facial Surgeon; Talk Inc. Psychologist; Davi Nikent

Hi Albert!

Thanks for this resource! This is exactly what I have been looking for. I am please that SDi is already being used in health care.
