What is Holism?
Coined by Jan Smuts, the word holism applies to a way of thinking that recognises
the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things. In a veterinary context, it indicates the approach to a patient
that views the body (i.e. the collection of organs and tissues) as being greater than the sum of its parts, that
each part acts upon every other part and upon the whole and that each is in turn acted upon by every other part and by the
whole. No individual part can be considered separately. It also considers the body in the context of diet, lifestyle
and environment and the part that each of these factors plays in health and disease.
