Rationale:
By offering a holistic approach that considers the context in which patients live, and that integrates biological, psychological, social, and existential perspectives as well as physical health, clinicians can avoid ineffective treatment pathways and unnecessary re-referrals resulting from insufficient treatment effect. Patients live their lives across multiple arenas, and this must be reflected in their care.
