Book Description
A ground-breaking new volume and the first of its kind to concisely outline and explicate the emerging field of whole person care process, Whole Person Care: A New Paradigm for the 21st Century organizes the disparate strains of literature on the topic. It does so by clarifying the concept of 'whole person' and also by outlining the challenges and opportunities that death anxiety poses to the practice of whole person care. Whole person care seeks to study, understand and promote the role of health care in relieving suffering and promoting healing in acute and chronic illness as a complement to the disease focus of biomedicine. The focus is on the whole person -- physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. Using concise, easy-to-read language, the early chapters offer practitioners a thorough understanding of the concepts, skills and tools necessary for the practice of whole person care from a clinician-patient interaction standpoint, while the last two chapters review the myriad implications of whole person care for medical practice. An invaluable resource for all areas of medical practice and for practitioners at all stages of development, from medical students to physicians and allied health providers with many years of experience, Whole Person Care: A New Paradigm for the 21st Century will have a profound impact on western medical practice in North America and elsewhere.

Book Description
This book argues persuasively and passionately that patient care is best when the patient’s healing journey is as good as it can possibly be. That means the patient as a Whole Person – the self in all its physiological, emotional, social and even spiritual dimensions – should receive truly comprehensive patient-centered care. In Whole Person Care: Transforming Healthcare, the author, an expert in whole person care theory and practice, outlines the background of whole person care, explains and illustrates the key ideas, puts the growing movement of whole person care in the context of other recent developments in healthcare, and explores the implications of whole person care for individual practitioners, healthcare teams, and the organization of healthcare at the institutional and systems level. In addition, the author provides a compelling, coherent narrative, rich with clinical examples and vignettes, that clarifies for physicians, medical students and healthcare administrators the meaning of whole person care and its implications for the future of medical practice. An invaluable resource for all clinicians and personnel concerned with managing patients with acute and chronic illness, Whole Person Care: Transforming Healthcare is a major addition to the literature and a must-read for health practitioners and health administrators at every level.

Book Description
Whole Person Librarianship guides librarians through the practical process of facilitating connections among libraries, social workers, and social services; explains why those connections are important; and puts them in the context of a national movement. Collaboration between libraries and social workers is an exploding trend that will continue to be relevant to the future of public and academic libraries. Whole Person Librarianship incorporates practical examples with insights from librarians and social workers. The result is a new vision of library services. The authors provide multiple examples of how public and academic librarians are connecting their patrons with social services. They explore skills and techniques librarians can learn from social workers, such as how to set healthy boundaries and work with patrons experiencing homelessness; they also offer ideas for how librarians can self-educate on these topics. The book additionally provides insights for social work partners on how they can benefit from working with librarians. While librarians and social workers share social justice motivations, their methods are complementary and yet still distinct—librarians do not have to become social workers. Librarian readers will come away with many practical ideas for collaboration as well as the ability to explain why collaboration with social workers is important for the future of librarianship.

Book Description
Like a composer who turns a simple tune into a majestic symphony, Jack W. Provonsha transformed aspects of his Seventh-day Adventist heritage into a powerful philosophical orientation that those with other backgrounds and points of view can evaluate from their own standpoints. From start to finish his views were from his Adventism and for the larger world by which he was more than willing to have those views judged. His views were particular in their origination but universal in their destination. Yet, I do not recommend reading this book "straight through." Reading the first biographical chapters by James Walters and myself and the last autobiographical ones by Doctor Provonsha will provide a good overview of his life and thought. Having done this, it might be best to read those chapters here and there which seem most interesting.

Book Description
In a world where many are disillusioned with the highly drug-dependent medical establishment, integrative medicine is gaining popularity because of its more holistic approach. Holism by definition implies greater than the sum of its parts, and is a response to reductionism, especially biological reductionism in medicine. The holistic model widely accepted in integrative healthcare today is a biopsychosocial model that aims to treat the whole person. It is a systems hierarchy model that includes the universe to a cell particle, so one’s understanding of holism will be reflected in what one considers relevant. To a pulmonologist, holism might mean the whole respiratory system, to a geneticist, holism might mean the whole family history, but...who is treating the whole “person”? This groundbreaking book sheds light on the limitations of integrative healthcare in exploring the full potential of homeopathy in treating the whole person. It argues that we don’t need a new approach, definition, or understanding of holism. We sometimes just need to step out of the systems hierarchy model of the reductionist paradigm itself to get a larger view, and redefine the boundaries of what constitutes the wholeness of a person. With a clear and engaging writing style, the book takes readers on a journey through the history and evolution of the concept of “whole”, and presents a compelling case for the adoption of an anthroposophic paradigm as a more comprehensive and effective approach to holism, healing, and homeopathy. Whether you are a homeopath, a healthcare practitioner, a patient, or simply interested in holistic medicine, this is a must-read book that will challenge your assumptions and expand your understanding of what it means to treat the whole person.

Book Description
The story begins on August 14, 1945 known throughout the world as V-J DAY. The streets of New York are filled with people celebrating the end of the sad and terrible World War ll. Young Jeff Mason and his grandfather lean out of their apartment window that overlooks 5th Avenue, New York and they look over the crowd below them. The old man takes his grandson on a journey through the corridors of life explaining to him the inherent traits that often mold a human being. He focuses on three pylons entitled: Race, Religion and Culture. Upon these three foundation pylons, the four pillars of life rest: Integrity, Character, Belief, and Execution. The story is interwoven with examples and true accounts throughout history of people who displayed these traits. The young boy remembers this experience on August 14, 1945 for the rest of his life. Told through the words of a loving grandfather to his 14-year-old grandson as they observe VJ day events from their window, this book presents a clear protocol to help all of us identify, clarify, and express our own values in today’s turbulent times. This thought-provoking and passionate message will leave a lasting impression on any reader. “This is a book that “sticks to your ribs.” Dr. Barbara Bower Louisville, KY

Book Description
In Western therapies, mind, body, and spirit are separated into three distinct areas, with specialists who deal with each facet of the human being independently. However, in the yogic model of well-being, medical, psychological, and spiritual needs are dealt with synergistically. Elements of yoga practice have become increasingly popular with both medical and mental health professionals, as well as the subject of much empirical research. Meditation, one of yoga's most important practices, has been found effective in the treatment of a wide variety of physical and psychological problems, including coronary artery disease, chronic pain, anxiety, and depression. Healing the Whole Person is a guide to help individuals improve bodily and behavioral functions through the integration of holistic yoga, meditation, and ayurveda practices. This book also takes a look into spiritual facets of psychotherapy and the role of a collective consciousness in personal well-being.
