The Wheel of Wellness Counseling for Wellness: A Holistic Model for Treatment Planning

Jane E. Myers, Thomas J. Sweeney, J. Melvin Witmer

Abstract

A holistic model of wellness and prevention over the life span was presented by T. J. Sweeney and J. M. Witmer (1991) and J. M. Witmer and T. J. Sweeney (1992). Recent advances in research and theory related to wellness support modifications of the original model. The foundation for the model is examined, research related to each component is explored, and implications for use of the model as a basis for counseling interventions are presented.
