ABSTRACT
Caring may require an epistemological foundation that transcends some of the more recent dichotomies that have tended to overcompartmentalise knowledge into discrete disciplines. This has concurrently coincided with an overspecialisation of professional domains. We argue that the kind of knowledge that needs to be reclaimed for a meaningful humanly sensitive care is holistic and integrative. In this chapter we offer some epistemological considerations by which these notions of holistic knowledge and integrated practice can be clarified.
