Holism means that “the whole is more than the sum of its parts”.
Having a holistic conception of a person means always considering him as a complex unity-totality, not reducible to a simple assemblage of his constituent parts. Holistic derives from "holos" which in Greek means "the whole". The holistic approach in aesthetics takes into consideration all aspects of the individual: physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual. In aesthetics this means that we cannot simply dwell on the condition of the skin or simply excess weight. We must therefore think of working upstream as well, on the mental and emotional state.
