Explain the difference between the Biomedical model and the Holistic Model
The Holistic approach is truly the pillar of all recovery care models. This approach ensures that
the patient is treated through healing. In contrast, in a holistic model, symptoms are seen as a
form of communication and are useful for understanding the meaning of the dysregulation and
disharmony that are occurring for this person at a given time.
Holistic therapy respects the complexity of each unique individual, appreciating the relationship
between the client's mind, body, and spirit and recognizing the interdependence of all parts of the
human system.
