Healing er en helhetlig
behandlingsmetode, metoden er i seg selv rettet mot hele mennesket. Healere tar
derfor imot mennesker med alle typer helseproblemer, men kan aldri gi garanti om
effekt. Healing kan benyttes i tillegg til medisinsk behandling eller annen
terapi. Det er viktig å være oppmerksom på at healere vanligvis ikke har
medisinske kunnskaper, og kan derfor ikke diagnostisere eller vurdere
sykdomstilstander eller deres alvorlighetsgrad.
Healing
er blitt en svært populær behandlingsform i USA, og har også fått sterkt
fotfeste innenfor sykepleiemiljøet. Mye av forskningen har vært utført av
amerikanske sykepleiere. I England var healing den første av de komplementære
behandlingsmetodene som oppnådde offentlig anerkjennelse, og er i dag
praktisert på en rekke sykehus og klinikker.
