Holistic Perception

Introduction

Holistic Perception can be defined as the perception of reality in its natural organic state. In psychology, it is referred to as an approach that is used to understand the human mind and behavior focusing on looking at things as a whole. The main idea of holistic perception is to look at all-natural things as a whole without considering their constituting parts. A holistic Approach or perception is opposite to reductionism, the focus on analyzing things by trying to break them into the smallest parts.

Holistic Perception suggests that to understand the smallest parts of a thing, it is better to analyze that thing in relation to the whole first.  Psychologists consider the mind as a unit in which its different part are playing their important roles within an integrated system of this unit. According to psychologists, “Humans are much more than simply the sum of their body parts” in terms of Holistic Perception.
