A Healing Space for Caregiver and Patient
This paper proposes a novel therapeutic clinic model that embodies and operationalizes an interdisciplinary approach to healing that transcends traditional biomedical paradigms. Drawing upon critiques of Cartesian dualism in modern medicine and the integration of spirituality, music, and attentive listening into clinical practice, this paper offers a comprehensive framework for a healing environment. The proposed model emphasizes the essential unity of mind, body, and spirit while creating spaces for therapeutic encounters that honor the full personhood of patients. Through architectural design, staffing structures, clinical protocols, and technological integration, this clinic represents a practical manifestation of a holistic healing philosophy, offering a template for healthcare delivery that addresses the limitations of reductionist approaches to healing.
