Abstract

This research examines the membership of a support group for physicians who were becoming professionally involved with holistic health. Two general sets of factors seemed involved in these physicians' receptivity to holistic techniques and practices: Experiences of distance from conventional medicine and experiences of alternative medical practice possibilities. The latter in turn were associated with spiritual experiences, personal experiences with illness, and marital or family distress often leading to psychotherapeutic or encounter involvements. Each of these experiences provided alternative conceptualizations with which the physician could understand a range of professional dissatisfactions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
