If we are organic beings with a dense and complicated set of relationships bringing together the life of the soul and the mind and body, then clearly we need medical treatment which takes these relationships seriously. It becomes important to reconcile a holistic approach with a religious approach to the human person. Any medical approach that deals with the whole human being is holistic. This means taking spiritual questions on board, as well as physical ones.
