Preface
We now live in ihc 1980s. This book was written tor our
times and tot the people of this age--which some call \"the
new age.\"
The Bcrkclcv Holistic Health Center compiled tile first
Holistic ttcalthH，.mdbook ill 1978. That book captured the
spirit of thosc timcs， placed holistic hcahh within an his-
torical context， and cvcn inw)lved the future. This book
seeks to do for the 1980s what that book successfully ac-
complished fi~r the 1970s.
Much has happcncd in the health field and in the world
as a whole in recent years. During the 1960s and 1970s
holistic health was an ~hernativc movement associated with
the \"countcr culture\"; during the 1980s it has been moving
into the mainstream of American life. A growing number
of health practitioners and laypersons look to holistic health
for healing. No hmger relegated to small centers， holistic
health is now practiced in major hospitals， taught in uni-
versities， and used in businesses and corporations.
This growth was reflected by Lawrence LeShan， Ph.D.，
president-elect of the Association of Humanistic Psychol-
ogy (AItP)， at a mccting in Boston in August of 1984 when
he noted， \"The Army Surgeon General is a dew)tee of
holistic health. (;onscquently， Walter Reed Hospital is be-
coming one of tim most holistic hospitals in the world.\"
Holistic health is truly influencing a variety of environ-
ments.
