== Concept of Human Being ==
==Concept of Human Being==
Integrative medicine is sometimes perceived as a more human-centered approach to medicine, partly in response to perceived deficiencies in conventional medicine. The latter achieves high levels of technical precision, but it is argued that its focus on a reductionistic-mechanistic worldview and concept of human beings does not always adequately address essential aspects of human nature. Aspects such as the uniqueness of each individual, human interaction, and biography come into play, which are difficult to reconcile with the prevalent machine paradigm. These considerations have also led to the development of biopsychosocial medicine.
