The theories of nursing that take a holistic approach to explaining the phenomenon of nursing care are theories that view a person as a whole entity rather than only focusing on the parts which comprise the individual. The whole person is greater than a sum of the parts that make up the person and an individual cannot be defined specifically by any of these parts.

As a mental health counseling student, I have learned to appreciate the exhilarating moment when I work with an individual or group in a real or fabricated setting for the first time. This exhilaration was definitely not absent in today’s demonstration of the Autobiography technique with my classmates in a mock group.
