The fact that human beings are a folding together of body and spirit makes it important to consider the influence of the spirit upon illness and treatment. Medical care is intrinsically a spiritual activity. What one believes in one's spirit – about what is true, about the nature of the physical world, about how and why illness comes, and so on – will influence the choice of an approach to healing. The ill person, then, will want to select a practitioner whose spiritual orientation and beliefs are most in accord with his own, if possible.
