2 ARTICLE REVIEW Abstract Both our perception of who we are and the choices we end up making are influenced by a number of different elements, all of which are engaged in an ongoing conversation with one another. This demonstrates several effective tests that may be used while attempting to comprehend the challenges. People are seen as being highly complete when seen through the lens of the ideas of holistic psychology. Perspective lends complexity to individual assessment and outcomes, which, in turn, drives individuals to find practical solutions for their problems when other techniques fail to provide. Instead, than analyzing a person by dissecting them into separate components and focusing on how those components work, holistic psychology considers the total person. Holistic psychologists are of the opinion that in order to discover anything about a person's ideas or behaviors, it is necessary to examine the person as a whole. Keywords: coping mechanisms, understanding behaviors, Holistic psychology, psychotherapy

3 ARTICLE REVIEW Journal Article Review: Foundational and Worldview Issues of Integration Assignment Summary Most standard methods for dealing with people who have a mental or physical disorder focus only on one aspect of their condition before moving on to the next. Many specialists in the field of mental health have come to accept this approach as the gold standard. There have been a variety of viewpoints on the importance of spirituality in disease, mental and physical health, leading some to believe that religious remedies are the key to recovery (Entwistle, 2009). All of nature is pristine, according to naturalistic metaphysical extremists, and relying on religion systems is harmful to one's mental health (Entwistle, 2009). David Entwistle gave a powerful illustration of the significance of religion in mental and emotional wellness when he wrote about the tragic loss of a young girl of 15 months of age. Even though the infant may have been saved with medical attention, her parents belonged to a tiny dominion that thought prayer was the only cure for ailments. To those who subscribe to the principles of holistic psychology, the promotion of healthy assets to the body and soul will coordinate the healing of any mental or emotional disorders, and therefore the promotion of mental and emotional wellness is defined with the body and soul via prayer. Some people, sometimes with catastrophic results, resist medicine or counseling on the basis of their religious convictions (Entwistle, 2009, p. 142). Holistic treatments take into consideration the fact that both an individual's internal and external environments have the power to influence their behavior and responses in the here and now. According to Entwistle (2009), using a holistic approach in counseling patients who have strong religious values may give rise to ethical difficulties.

4 ARTICLE REVIEW Experts with and without stringent religious beliefs agree that those who adhere strictly to their faith may alter their health in many ways. Therefore, a person's reality shouldn't be used as a flexing technique, but rather as a factor in their therapy. Experts should be aware of the laws in their home states regarding the compensation they might get for their knowledge, skills, and experience. For the sake of the therapeutic connection and the client's religious convictions, experts should have a thorough understanding of their clients' religious tenets (Entwistle, 2009). Reflection At first, I wasn't really shocked to learn about holistic psychology. I have researched the effects of many different worldviews via reading papers and books. One of my parents is a Jehovah's Witness, while the other is a devout Christian. My father, a devout Jehovah's Witness, rejects medical interventions that would save his life, such as blood transfusions and treatment. He thinks the Bible is all he needs to live a godly life and so he does just that. In contrast, my mum has faith in both the Bible and modern medicine. This brought to mind the spiritualistic and naturalist metaphysical stances. Both methods are grounded on established principles of health care, yet they operate independently of one another. My mother, for instance, would submit to a life-saving blood transfusion, whereas my father is strongly opposed to the idea. To me, looking after one's health is first and foremost a matter of fulfilling a personal moral obligation. After reading this essay, I have a much better understanding of how damaging a person's lack of wellbeing can be to the mental, social, and physical health of those who are closest to them. I appreciate how a state of health allows one to make full use of one's body to meet their needs without fear of harm or the constraints of depression. This essay has opened my eyes to the positive and negative ways in which religion may affect one's life, while also opening the door to embracing other people's religious beliefs despite my own biases.

5 ARTICLE REVIEW Application Lydia Lake, 36, came in for her first appointment with me today for help with her sadness and mania after the tragic death of her twin sister. Her identical twin sister died after a lengthy battle with lupus. Lydia hasn't slept in three months, has zero drive, and has mentioned experiencing manic episodes ever since her sister left. During her manic episodes, she says she cleans, shops, and parties excessively. During her low points, she isolates herself from her friends and family and forgets about her hyperactive past behavior. Lydia said that before her sister passed away, they did almost everything together and that her sister was her greatest friend. Before losing her closest friend and sister, Lydia said she was an enthusiastic, positive Christian. Now she questions everything she ever believed about God. As a result of her sadness, Lydia has stopped going to church. She needs closure in order to heal and move on after her sister's death. She will know who I am and what I'm there to do when I introduce myself and go through the ground rules for our sessions (permission paperwork, appropriate behavior, etc.). Lydia may vent her feelings and make a list of the things she wants to alter while she's grieving. Since Lydia is a Christian who finds solace in the Bible, I will be better able to comprehend her perspective by using her faith as a therapeutic strategy. Since Lydia has expressed a desire for a holistic approach to her recovery, one that draws from both conventional medicine and spiritual practices, I intend to provide just that. Lydia can get over her recent behavior shift and return to serving God if she draws from both of these sources. Lydia's recovery process may be supported on several fronts, including her body, mind, and faith. If I were Lydia's therapist, I would suggest that she take an antidepressant so that she might find some relief from her grief. If she were to take this action, it would assist her in regaining her feeling of self-control and in reinvigorating her group of friends. Since she put a lot

6 ARTICLE REVIEW of stock in the Bible, I'll provide her guidance that draws on both experience and the Bible in order to assist her in navigating the world. Help her recover by guiding her to Scriptures that speak to her specific concerns and by encouraging her to keep a journal of her daily reflections. Lydia will finally have the insight she needs to go back to a healthy routine thanks to these possibilities. It is my responsibility as Lydia's therapist to take into account her values and preferences and include them into our work together. The long-term objective would be to wean Lydia off the medicine so that she doesn't get dependent on it, get her back into church, and help her rebuild her social life.
