Wholistic and Holistic are actually variant spellings of the same practice. The (W)holistic practice is to treat the whole body as the body is designed to work together, rather than to treat individual parts. Traditional psychiatry can often view the brain as an isolated chemical organ and fall short of recognizing the dynamic interplay between the gut, brain, heart, and body, and how we move through the world in our lives.
