Bernard Lonergan's Method and a Medical Doctor's Approach to Healthcare

by John Raymaker

Overview

Pat Daly, MD, has written a series of articles which uphold Bernard Lonergan's method explored in his famous book Insight as a model that could be followed or applied in practicing medicine or promoting healthcare. Daly calls his effort a GEM Model for medicine. Daly, however, has not explored in-depth Lonergan's second major work, Method in Theology, which develops an eight-step method that complements Insight. This book focuses on these eight steps, or Functional Specialties so as to better promote Lonergan's views on ""Healing and Creating in History.""

Editorial Reviews

""In this volume, John Raymaker has integrated the overall dimensions of Bernard Lonergan's work while making suggestions as to how these dimensions could be helpfully applied to Dr. Patrick Daly's breakthrough application of Lonergan's method to the fields of healthcare, medicine, and evolutionary psychologies.""
