RADAR CONCEPTS
RADAR Concepts
Concepts are the grouping of rubrics together based on a common idea or theme. Concepts are a broader groupings of rubrics together than are cross-references. There is a concept that groups these rubrics together. A concept can suggest to you other rubrics which more closely describe what your patient is saying. These may be rubrics you didn’t think of or didn’t know existed. When you see a light bulb next to a rubric, it means that rubric is part of one or more concepts. There are many different authors that have created concepts in RADAR. You can also create your own concepts.
There are three primary types of concepts.
Concept Analogic Groups. These concepts are over arching ideas that link various rubrics together.
Concept within a remedy. Every remedy has a number of ideas with it. The symptoms fit in with those ideas. It is a description of the remedy from the perspective of certain ideas that are contained in that remedy. These ideas are a concept with rubrics associated with it.
Disease concept. Diseases don’t all have the same symptoms, but there is some reality to the disease, some relationship between the symptoms that point to rubrics which might be useful.
The concepts are displayed in order of their Authors:
Fonseca has created concepts through out the Mind chapter.
Servais has created concepts within remedies.
NOTES
Zulian has created a word index.
