Ideologies of holism in health care

Abstract: 'Holism' was held up in the 1980s as something to which health care practice should aspire. As part of her doctoral research, Richenda Power analysed the use of the concept in a broad range of texts. These included primary texts about holistic medical, nursing and other health care practices, and secondary sources such as commentaries in the media and mass observation reports. This paper discusses some themes that emerged during the textual analysis of the first formal codification' of 'holistic medicine' in Britain. Suggestions are made for understanding the varieties of ideologies upon which these texts were built.
