The holistic medical approach seems to be efficient and can also be used in adolescent medicine. Supporting the teenager to grow and develop is extremely important in order to prevent many of the problems they can carry into adulthood. The simple consciousness-based, holistic medicine--giving love, winning trust, giving holding, and getting permission to help the patient feel, understand, and let go of negative beliefs--is easy for the physician interested in this kind of practice and it requires little previous training for the physician to be able to care for his/her patient. A deeper insight into the principles of holistic treatment and a thorough understanding of our fellow human beings are making it work even better. Holistic medicine is not a miracle cure, but rather a means by which the empathic physician can support the patient in improving his/her future life in respect to quality of life, health, and functional capacity--through coaching the patient to work on him/herself in a hard and disciplined manner. When the patient is young, this work is so much easier. During our lifetime, we have several emotional traumas arranged in the subconscious mind with the smallest at the top, and it is normal for the person to work on a large number of traumatic events that have been processed to varying degrees. Some traumas have been acknowledged, some are still being explored by the person, and yet others are still preconscious, which can be seen for example in the form of muscle tension. Sometimes the young dysfunctional patient carries severe traumas of a violent or sexual nature, but the physician skilled in the holistic medical toolbox can help the patient on his/her way to an excellent quality of life, full self-expression, a love and sex life, and a realization of his/her talents--all that a young patient is typically dreaming about. Biomedicine is not necessary or even recommended when the physical or mental symptoms are caused by disturbances in the personal development that can be corrected with love and understanding. If possible, biomedicine must be avoided, even if this means suffering for the young person, who needs to confront the tough realities of life in order to grow into an able and sound adult.
整体医学方法似乎很有效，也可用于青少年医学。支持青少年成长和发展对于预防他们成年后可能出现的许多问题极为重要。基于意识的简单整体医学——给予关爱、赢得信任、给予支持并获得帮助患者感受、理解和摒弃消极信念的许可——对于热衷于这种疗法的医生来说并不难，而且医生几乎无需事先培训就能照顾好患者。对整体治疗原则有更深入的理解以及对他人有透彻的了解会使这种疗法效果更佳。整体医学并非神奇疗法，而是一种手段，有同理心的医生可借此通过指导患者严格自律地自我提升，在生活质量、健康和功能能力方面支持患者改善其未来生活。当患者年轻时，这项工作会容易得多。在我们的一生中，潜意识中会排列着若干情感创伤，最轻微的在最上面，人们处理大量不同程度已加工的创伤事件是正常的。有些创伤已被认知，有些仍在被本人探索，还有一些仍处于前意识状态，比如可能表现为肌肉紧张。有时，功能失调的年轻患者会遭受暴力或性方面的严重创伤，但精通整体医学方法的医生可以帮助患者迈向优质生活、充分自我表达、拥有爱情和性生活以及实现自身才能——所有这些都是年轻患者通常所梦想的。当身心症状是由个人发展中的困扰引起，而这些困扰可通过关爱和理解来纠正时，生物医学并非必要甚至不被推荐。如果可能，必须避免使用生物医学，即便这意味着年轻人要承受痛苦，因为他们需要面对生活的严峻现实才能成长为有能力且健全的成年人。
