Holistic care according to (Mariano, 2007), refers to the total care offered to a patient; this includes physical, emotional, social, economic, and spiritual needs of the patient. Holistic care is important as it helps in healing of the body, mind, and soul of the patients; the patient is healed wholly .

The above article talks about the effective treatments for Asian American and terms to it as important d ue to the already persisting disparities among persons of color and European Americans. Person of color rarely seek psychological services than the European Americans thus treatment disparities are being acute among Asian Americans which are a fastest growing ethnic group in the United States (Hwang, 2006). The current situation of the Asian American disparities can be reduced through the use of appropriate circumstances and culturally adaptations made to the existing treatments. Cultural competent treatments should be developed for describing cultural values and beliefs that distinguish Asian Americans from their western counterparts; this will play a big role affecting the psychotherapy and how it is received and provided. Many Asian Americans believe in family, friends, and the community at large and this make the Asian Americans interdependent compared to the western European culture where people are independent of each other, and they do not depend or rely on others but are self-enhancing.

A patient of Asian American culture from the article shows that since the Asian Americans are interdependent and relate to family, friends, and community, it will be easy to offer treatment to them as a community since they care about each other. This will help in their healing as a group as they will feel they are all cared for and get motivated to practice what they are taught concerning their illness. Preserving a patients dignity and assisting the patients to see themselves as people who deserve their dignity will help in molding my mind around every aspect of the patients being as this will create a better understanding and relationship between the patient and the nurse.
