Holistic psychology
Holistic psychology, and holistic counselling interventions, are approaches that posit that psychological phenomena and persons should be studied and treated by psychology practitioners as wholes formed by biological, cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual elements that together are more than the simple sum of the single constituents.[1]. Currently, holistic psychology is not a specific school but rather a perspective that informs the theory, methodology, and practice of approaches such as humanistic psychology[2] on which holistic psychology is historically rooted[3].
Specific holistic counselling courses and practices are based on techniques that can be framed within the overall holistic psychology approach[4][5]. These practices integrate approaches from evidence-based cognitive-behavioural interventions and traditional practices aimed at elevating the person's awareness of own body, emotions, and mind processes, such as the Buddhist and other forms of meditation. Holistic psychology also takes from the latter a nuanced tendency to ascribe relevance to the spiritual aspects of self. This effort of integration follows a broader trend in psychology and neuroscience aiming to understand the mind processes and brain mechanisms underlying traditional meditation practices and to exploit their potential benefits [6] [7][8][9]
