* Relationship Care
*
Patient autonomy is encouraged through
the doctor-patient relationship and puts
emphasis on the needs of both parties.
The quality of the relationship is
paramount to the healing process.
* Individuality
*
*
Holistic practitioners concentrate
patient care on the individual needs of
the person with the disease, rather than
focusing on the disease itself.
* Teaching by Example
*
Incorporating the principles of holistic
health into treatment and daily
conversation with the patient helps to
promote healing.
* Learning Opportunities.
*
Holistic healthcare professionals aim to
use the occurrence of illness and
suffering as an opportunity to grow and
learn, for both the doctor and patient.
