Book excerpt: The second edition of "Integrative Nursing" is a complete roadmap to integrative patient care, providing a guide to the whole person/whole systems assessment and clinical interventions for individuals, families, and communities. Treatment strategies described in this version employ the full complement of evidence-informed methodologies in a tailored, person-centered approach to care. Integrative medicine is defined as healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (body, mind, and spirit) as well as all aspects of the lifestyle; it emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and makes use of appropriate therapies, but conventional and alternative. -- From publisher's description
