A holistic approach to the patient is needed in the planning and delivery of both health and social care. The principle of the holistic approach is to accept the biological, psychological, social and spiritual needs of the person. A holistic approach to the patient, including acceptance of their needs, is the essence of person-centred care. The monograph addresses the needs of particularly vulnerable patient groups, focusing on the specific needs of patients with dementia and the needs of elderly patients in home and hospital care.
