Abstract
In a previous discussion of a Family Practice Model (Letters, SA Fam Pract, May 1990)1, I proposed a model diagram unifting Newtonian Objectivity, Einsteinian Subjectivity and Quantum Uncertainq', reproduced below. After more than twenty years in practice and with three years experience in using the modality of Medical Hypno analysis, I now realise just how incomplete this model is. Furthermore, despite the explosion and application of scientific knowledge, many of our patients are no more fulfilled than before, they are as vulnerable as ever.
