Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"Ayurveda "recognizes that every individual has a unique constitution; a set of conditions, characteristics, and life circumstances. Therefore, Ayurvedic treatment must properly address this unique constitution to maximize the benefits of treatment in the prevention or cure of disease. Ayurveda holds that an individual is healthy only if the mind, body, emotions and soul of the individual are perfectly aligned with the universe or the cosmic intelligence. This view of a unique construction is parallel to the modern science concept of DNA. (Lim, 2006) Techniques of breathing are for nurturing the life-force and ethics while mantra and mediation are used toward balancing the mind. "

From the Paper
"Holistic medicine includes a wide variety of practices and philosophies. The basic principle behind the theory is that each patient is a functioning, whole, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual being. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recognizes the importance of a treatment approach that addresses the psychological as well as the physical well being of the patient. By combining different techniques and natural remedies, a person can take control and obtain a feeling of total wellness: spiritually, physically, and mentally (NCI, 1999)."

Abstract
This paper describes and defines holistic care of patients. The writer claims that the provision of suitable nursing care is not possible if the patient is not viewed in a holistic and complete manner. The writer explains that the holistic care of a patient involves the care of the whole person. The writer further points out that even though nurses do often tend to provide what they believe is holistic nursing care, they also tend to forget the spiritual dimension.
From the Paper
"It is impossible to provide adequate nursing care if the patient is not viewed holistically. Holistic care refers to care for the whole person. According to the CNO, among the core competencies for the nurse who is performing assessment, she "considers the psychosocial, emotional, ethnic, cultural and spiritual dimensions of health". "

Abstract
This paper describes the outlook of Abraham Maslow, one of the most influential psychological theorists of the 20th century. In particular, his approach known as humanistic psychology is examined, with an emphasis on his holistic-dynamic theory. The paper describes this theory based on the existing theories of Freud, Jung and Adler. Maslow's "hierarchy of needs" is presented as part of the holistic theory. The paper regards Maslow quite positively, because he never claimed that his theories were an end in themselves or that they were valid to the exclusion of all other theories of psychology.
Outline:
Background of Maslow's Interest in Humanistic Psychology
The Holistic Dynamic Theory
Theory of Motives
Deficiency Motives
Growth Motives
Hierarchy of Needs
The Physiological Needs
The Safety and Security Needs
The Love and Belonging Needs
The Esteem Needs
Self-Actualization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Even while realizing the importance of the existing theories, Maslow made it his life's goal to "integrate into a single theoretical structure" the partial truths that he saw in Freud, Adler, Jung, et. al. He asserted that Freud had given us "the sick half of psychology, and we must now fill it out with the healthy half." (Maslow, quoted by Ewen, 1998, p. 416) As a result, Maslow developed his Holistic-Dynamic theory of human psychology through the study of healthy, fully functioning, and creative individuals instead of focusing on the mentally ill and the neurotic individuals as was done by Freud and his followers."

Abstract
A discussion of the work of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, founder of holistic medication and how this has developed into a strong alternative for over-the-counter medicines which exist today. It discusses different forms of holistic medicines and the controversy that surrounds some of them. Included is also a case study and an examination of what the future holds.
From the Paper
"While there are many over-the-counter (OTC) medicines that work to treat the common cold, premenstrual syndrome, insomnia and many other illnesses, most conventional medications simply mask symptoms and may inhibit the body's natural ability to heal itself, according to Dworkin (1999). However, herbs and vitamins have a tendency to be gentler on the body and often enhance the body's natural recovery process. For this reason, many people are swapping their OTC medicines for holistic medicines."

From the Paper
Health assessment is a general topic related to many other health issues and practices. Health professionals in different fields use differing methods of assessment and must contend with a variety of issues specific to health assessment in their chosen field, but there are also certain general propositions to guide them in the assessment process. Holistic health assessment has been viewed with skepticism by some, to a degree justified by problems of definition, psychometric accuracy, and legitimate application ... The application of holistic health assessment in schools, colleges, and community-based programs is promoted as sound public health policy."

From the Paper
"Some of the most important intellectual movements of the 20th century are those which encourage a holistic perspective of the world. The holistic perspective asserts that phenomena can only be understood when viewed in their broadest possible context. Five intellectual movements that have profoundly shaped the world we live in today are globalism, person-centered psychotherapy, holistic health, equal opportunity education, and population control.
The concept of globalism acknowledges the fact that the world is no longer constrained by national borders. A number of respected observers of world affairs have been arguing for more than a decade that our world has become a global village: "A popular belief since the end of World War II has been that the future world will see the development of a single homogeneous ..."

Cross Cultural and Holistic Approaches to Psychology, 2005.
A discussion regarding different approaches to psychology.

Abstract
This paper is discusses psychology from both the cross-cultural and holistic perspective. Information is presented with respect to both orientations, and the paper also discusses the amalgamation of the two.
From the Paper
"Working models in psychology theory can be as varied as the number of authors who write on the subject. All fields of psychology are still relatively new and those involved in the field are still testing and applying the theorems put forth by earlier writers in an attempt to determine a best-fit practice for helping people master the world around them. Regardless of the theory chosen the professional must make sure that that which is purported as a usable theoretical paradigm is congruent with one's own personal values, personality, and professional skills. Whether or not a therapist is from the school of psychoanalysis, behaviorism, cognition, or even Brennan's (2002) third force movement, one salient fact remains, namely, that the individual is a composite of social, environmental, psychological, biological, and cultural factors.

Abstract
Because public institutions are committed to accountability and outcomes measurements, this paper argues that an Inmate Tracking System at the Wisconsin Resource Center (WRC), should be implemented. It discusses benefits of the system, which include greater accountability and efficiency, thereby addressing two present weaknesses. Establishing a tracking system requires a new, holistic, organizational view; multiple, significant changes in WRC's operation and assessment of the technology structure and in employees' computer competence. This paper's scope is limited to outlining a plan of implementing an inmate tracking system.

From the Paper
"There is a move in the public sector in providing outcome measures for services being rendered. Newcomer (2001) explains that "during the last three decades, the number of laws and executive directives that mandate performance measurement and reporting has increased at all levels of government" (p. 337). The private sector has been doing these measures for some time as a way to stay in business and to show its stock holders that the company is being operated efficiently and according to planned goals. Although the practice in the public sector is more about spending resources than earning income, spending these resources efficiently and being able to show the effectiveness of spent resources is one way of illustrating a need for the program."

Abstract
This paper discusses the need to transform the US military in order to optimize its capabilities both for overseas warfare and domestic warfare. The paper explains that there are two challenges facing the military which require its transformation: it must become a more lethal force, which can be mobilized overseas, and must play a major role in homeland security. The paper then explains that the transformation of the U.S. military is basically a plan of modernization, which integrates new concepts, organizations and technology.The paper relates that, as the Army continues to fight in more non-traditional environments, including heavily urbanized terrain, the elements of the military need to be treated holistically as part of a system-of-systems

From the Paper
"The experience of military forces in both Afghanistan and Iraq has led the U.S. administration to believe that there should be a change in the U.S. army. Both the Army and the Marine Corps that were assigned in Iraq found out that there is a need for more protection. There became a particular need for what is now known as Medium-Armor Units composed of armored vehicles that are heavier than Humvees but are lighter than Abram or Bradley Tanks. It was noted that as the tanks were effective, they were too much and are often described as "overkill" to most cases."

Abstract
Social systems theory attempts to explain how humans interact with their environment. Under social systems theory, holistic patterns are searched for to help explain cause and effect at the micro and macro levels. Social systems theory is a part of systems thinking. Systems thinking is a conceptual framework for seeing interrelationships rather than mere things. This paper analyzes a social structure, a correctional treatment facility that employs the bureaucratic structure system, and argues that systems thinking would be the ideal model for efficiency in outcomes and treatment for the clients. The paper includes illustrations and diagrams.

"Social systems can be defined as any level of interaction that may be direct, face-to-face personal interaction of two people, or the indirect, enormously interlinked, impersonal interaction of a society (Loomis, 1960). In social systems, analysis begins with the individual and continues outward with the interaction of two or more people interacting with their environment."

Abstract
This paper discusses how during the past few years, a growing interest in natural and holistic healthcare has caused a growing interest in the field of chiropractic therapy. More patients seeking drug and surgery-free alternatives for their ailments are increasingly turning to natural therapies such as chiropractic therapy which specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that are caused by mechanical dysfunctions of the joints and their effects on the nervous system. It studies the relationship between chiropractic therapy and the traditional healthcare system, through a critical study of various literature regarding the benefits of chiropractic therapy using the hypothesis that the traditional medical community is gradually recognizing the benefits of chiropractic therapy. In the near future, both healthcare fields will complement each other, resulting in a more holistic healthcare approach that better-serves the needs of the community.
From the Paper
"Chiropractors work with a wide variety of patients, from children to the elderly, from injured athletes to accident victims. A growing number of chiropractors are increasingly specializing in the treatment of children and pre-teenagers. Lately, more and more children are taking extra-curricular activities such as soccer and karate. In addition, they are also lugging heavier backpacks. These factors subject the spine to an inordinate amount of stress. Backpain, once a bane of the middle-aged, now afflicts young children at an alarming rate (DeMarco 2002)."
