Holism And Complementary Medicine: Origins & Principles
Vincent Di Stefano’s Holism and Complementary Medicine: Origins and Principles distills the philosophy behind natural and integrative health into one concise 240-page textbook. First published by Allen & Unwin in 2006, this trade paperback traces holistic ideas from ancient healing traditions to today’s complementary therapies, making it a solid reference for students of herbalism, family medicine, or health education.
The book balances history with practical insight, exploring concepts like vitalism, mind-body unity, and the rise of alternative medicine within mainstream care. Di Stefano writes in plain English, so newcomers to holism can grasp the roots of natural medicine without wading through dense jargon.
This used copy is in good shape: spine smooth, pages clean, no notes, highlights, or dog-ears. Light scuffing on the bottom edge is the only sign of shelf time, leaving plenty of room for study, margin notes, or clinic reference.
A handy 6x9 inch format at just 15 oz slips easily into a backpack or office shelf. Search-friendly keywords—holistic health textbook, complementary medicine origins, Vincent Di Stefano natural medicine—point here for an affordable introduction to integrative care.
