Abstract
The practice of integrated-holistic health has been and is being analyzed, evaluated, criticized, promoted, and denounced in the literature, in the marketplace, and in educational and health care institutions of this country. This article presents an overview of the concepts, principles, and philosophy of holistic and integrative health, a brief comparison of conventional and integrative-holistic health practices, and suggests an outline for a survey course in integrative-holistic health education. This material, including objectives, techniques, and modalities, is provided to serve as a starting point to a greater understanding of a contemporary health issue.
