“HOLISTIC PSYCHOLOGY: THE ART and SCIENCE of PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION and HEALING” by Gita Elgin, Ph.D. Bart Bödy, Ph.D.
“Sing Your Own Song, Dance Your Own Dance” gives an overview-in-depth of holistic psychology in the context of personal transformation and healing. Holistic Psychology is an emergent movement that affirms the integrity of the person as one body-mind-spirit embedded within the larger wholes of family, community, the planet, and the cosmos.
Personal Transformation is the logical end-point of the study and practice of Holistic Psychology. “If you want life to work for you, first make the acquaintance of your real Self… Holistic Renewal is a transformational process that integrates body, mind, and spirit. It empowers you and gives you the key to a state of being that is ever-creative and joyous. Many have used it to resolve personal crises, to overcome health problems, to unblock a relationship, or to break out of career stuckness.”
Holistic Health and Healing can be properly understood and practiced only in the context of holistic psychology. “Like a gentle zephyr, the stirring of a new consciousness wafts over the land — the dawning realization that health and illness have to do with more than just muscle and bone and biochemistry. There is a new awareness that health is wholeness, and that healing involves the whole person — body, mind, and spirit.”
