Benefits of holistic view

Holism refers to the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When you consider a complex organism like a human, this means that though the organism is composed of numerous small parts [cells, atoms, mitochondria], the person as a whole interacts with its environment in complex ways that make it more than just a combination of physical substances. In social sciences, the holistic perspective acknowledges that a person can be affected by internal and external forces, and that these forces interact and influence a human's behavior and reactions to their environment. Additionally, holism or "holistic" approaches often seek to address all aspects of a human's life, mind, body, and environment in order to improve wellbeing.

One advantage of holism is that it sometimes feels truer to the lived experience of human beings. Illnesses and psychological problems usually don't exist in a vacuum; rather, they arise in response to complex forces interacting in a single human being. The disadvantages stem from the very nature of holism; it is harder to break down and point to one cause of an illness or ailment when there are so many interacting forces that cannot be separated. This makes holism harder to test in a scientific way.

Holism is a philosophical idea where every idea in the natural realm is being viewed as a whole and not as collected parts. It has many advantages like you can view the clear picture of the things. Since you are able to see the scenario, you can prose direct, appropriate and instant solution/s upon it. Ideas are direct with less complexities and struggles. It poses clear yes and no questions.

If we look on its disadvantages, we should think about reductionism or atomism. It is the complete opposite of holism where anything can be viewed from reducing the parts to understand the whole. Holism tends to simplify whole things that cannot really be simplified such as diseases and diagnosis. Holism prevents further researches that can help in understanding the problem. It is less scientific than reductionism because it is not uncovering complexities. And lastly, holism is becoming hypothetical in the fact that it sums up or concludes a whole thing without weighing the effect of its parts.
