Holistic Living – Dr Patrick Pietroni
Holism is now the fastest-growing and most important development in health and healing. It is a programme of self-care in which the person is seen as a whole, with the parts essentially interrelated. Dr Patrick Pietroni is right at the forefront of this movement and his work and wide experience put him in a unique position to provide a guide to holistic living for everyone.
Dr Pietroni deals with the whole care of mind and body, including advice on stress, diet and nutrition, as well as on relationships, work and the environment. Throughout his book he provides helpful exercise and useful information about how and where to seek further help when needed.
Dr Patrick Pietroni is Chairman of the British Holistic Medical Association, which he helped to found, and Senior Lecturer in General Practice at St Mary’s Hospital, London. He is at present carrying out research at the Lisson Grove Health Centre and is to be head of the new Wates St Mary’s Primary Health Care Research Unit. He is also Senior Clinical Tutor at the British Postgraduate Medical Federation.
