Oxford Handbook of Integrative Health Science

Health is often studied by drilling down into targeted domains, even though growing evidence documents that most illnesses are influenced by a multitude of biological, psychological, and social factors working interactively together. This Handbook showcases innovative new lines of integrative health research that put the pieces together to tell a bigger, more complete story.
