Summary
Considering the principle of holism, a wellness treatment plan requires addressing at least the physical, mental, and social well-being of a client/patient irrespective of medical illness. According to the World Health Organization, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” [1]. A wellness treatment plan may be organized and developed based on the conceptualization of the client/patient’s strengths and challenges (i.e., the premise) and supporting material based on a theoretical model [2]. For the target audience, including physical and mental healthcare providers, we suggest treatment plan considerations from two models of wellness: Six Dimensions of Wellness by Dr. Bill Hettler, and Indivisible Self: An Evidence Based Model of Wellness (IS-WEL) by Drs. Jane Myers and Thomas Sweeney [3, 4].
