- The theory that all of a person’s physical, mental and social conditions should be considered in the treatment of his or her illness
- A philosophical position claiming (a) that wholes cannot be taken apart (->analysis) and (b) that every apparent whole can be understood only in the context of the larger whole containing it. this belief is epitomized in the statement that "a whole is more than the sum of its parts" (->synergy, ->organization). although the position 36 has merits, the infinite regression implied in the two-headed claim leads the wholist to believe in a hierarchical organization of the world (->hierarchy, ->general systems theory). to understand anything requires him to explore larger and larger contexts, to seek refuge in increasingly universalistic kinds of understandings which renders him unable to simultaneously understand and cope with the particulars of a situation he started out with.
