Editorial Reviews
Review
“This work presents a vision of health care for the future that honors the whole person--mind, body, and spirit. The three volumes present the expertise of over 80 contributors and editors, who explore integrative approaches and whole person programs. Each has experience in some aspect of whole person health care. Each volume demonstrates the application of mind-body-spirit therapies in a variety of contexts and settings. Volume 1 presents the challenges of current health issues and health behaviors, lays the foundation for the practice of integrative therapies, and offers guides for practitioners in whole person health care. Volume 2 focuses on meaning in illness; the role of the psychological, cognitive, and spiritual aspects of health; and the partnering of health care institutions with spas, resorts, and residential communities. Volume 3 introduces the history and practices of art and ritual in healing. Each chapter concludes with a "Tool Kit for Change" from professional, participant, and global perspectives. Although other works on holistic health are available, none provides the comprehensive scope of this set. Extensively researched and referenced, it includes helpful figures, tables, and graphs. Highly recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through professionals/practitioners.”–Choice
“Each of the three volumes covers a different topic: humanizing health care; psychology, spirituality, and health; and the arts and health. With help from doctors, lawyers, psychologists, public health officials, and other contributors, Serlin effectively conveys the message that integrative medicine may be the wave of the future....[t]his set focuses more on the psychological side of integrative medicine than medicine in general. It would be suitable for a college-level audience with interest in complementary alternative medicine, public health, or psychology and psychiatry. It serves as both an introduction to various practices and presents suggestions on their implementations....This set is recommended for academic and health sciences libraries.”–Library Journal
“I would recommended this set of books for libraries in medical and nursing schools, colleges for training in the arts, and seminaries and clinical pastoral education settings. Each chapter offers enormous food for thought in how together we might improve our healthcare system for the good of the practitioners and the recipients of their care.”–Catholic Library World
“The present collection should interest all health professionals concerned with the research and practice of integrative approaches, patients seeking to empower themselves, and health care policy makers. Students from diverse disciplines will certainly benefit from learning more about holistic health, and many of the different chapters in this book would be appropriate reading for university courses and seminars....Readers can use this book to acquire new skills; even more important, the book will prompt practitioners to pay attention to the whole person, which in turn should result in better care....Ilene Serlin should be commended for her colossal achievement in bringing together in one collection all these disciplines and for sowing the field with ideas for the future. This is a truly interdisciplinary effort including doctors, lawyers, psychologists, public health officials, and others.”–PsycCRITIQUES
“Exhaustively researched and intelligently written, Whole Person Healthcare is an indispensible reference for anyone who's ready to help transform the healthcare system from the ground up.”–Shift (Institute of Noetic Sciences)
“Makes a good case for each of the chosen healing practices, such as yoga, meditation, and qigong as well as music, art, dance, and drama therapies....Unlike other encyclopedias of complementary or alternative medicine....Whole Person Healthcare is written for the student in the field as well as the provider.”–American Reference Books Annual
“Whole Person Healthcare is a glimpse into the future of healing. It is a magnificent effort, bringing together authorities who have made landmark contributions in fashioning a form of healthcare that honors all we are--body, mind, spirit. These volumes demand our attention, because no other approach to healing deserves to be called scientific or humane.”–Larry Dossey, M.D. author of The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things
“This three-volume set is a complete and useful guide to empowering the learner to provide whole person care. The authors and editors have done an excellent job taking an often "gray" subject and applying expertise to make it useful and practical. The work will help us prepare for the health care of the future, which will be whole person and healing oriented.”–David Rakel, M.D. Director, UW Integrative Medicine University of Wisconsin Medical School
“This ground-breaking collection edited by Ilene Serlin brings to full realization a remarkable new phase in the reunion of mind, body, and spirit.”–Alan Combs author of The Radiance of Being
“These volumes provide a thoughtful and comprehensive overview of what we now know about the ways our thoughts and feelings, the world we live in, and the way we approach it, can contribute to the progression of the illnesses that beset us. Its distinguished contributors also show us how we can use music, art, dance and, even more important, the creative power of our imagination and the blessings of spirituality, to improve our health and enhance our lives.”–James S. Gordon, M.D. Chair, White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy (WHCCAMP) Director, The Center for Mind-Body Medicine
“The development of a Whole Person approach to Healthcare was one of the cornerstones of my Presidency of the American Psychological Association. I think that treating the whole person is at once the best way to both improve the quality of and access to healthcare, and to lower its cost. Whole Person Healthcare will foster a collaborative approach to healthcare. It will be and important tool, providing a summary of rigorous research, clinical case examples and a Tool Kit to promote interdisciplinary collaboration. It should be read by health students and professionals.”–Ronald F. Levant, Ed.D., A.B.P.P. Dean & Professor of Psychology, University of Akron 2005 President, American Psychological Association
