holistic view

Seeing everything together

A holistic view considers something as a complete, interconnected whole rather than as separate parts.

The term appears often in medicine, education, and business, where it signals attention to how components interact: We need to take a holistic view of the patient's health, not just treat symptoms.

The phrase can sound like jargon when overused.
