Resources to help students research information for a school project or paper.
If you are referencing the term holistic in your project, be aware that there are numerous definitions of holistic in general use. There can be serious miscommunication when the author and the reader are using different definitions for terms like holistic, holistic health, or holistic medicine.
For a quick overview AHHA recommends the definition of holistic as a whole made up of interrelated parts. This describes the whole person approach to wellness, rather than the more restrictive using holistic as a synonym for alternative therapies.
AHHA has set up a special Understanding Holistic section with selected resources from this site. Reviewing this material may be a valuable shortcut for you. This section includes a link to our articles on What is Holistic?
For data about a specific healing modality, check the professional association for the particular modality you are researching. AHHA has compiled a list of Healthcare Professional Associations. There is also our Practitioner Referral Sources list with almost 100 organizations that offer practitioner referrals. Many of these organizations are the professional association for specific healthcare modalities. Consider a search for the healing tradition you seek, such as medical, homeopathic, or chiropractic.
