Tan's anthropology includes which aspects?

• A. Only physical body
• B. Body and mind only
• C. Humans are comprised of body, mind, emotions, soul, and social
• D. Only spiritual aspects

Answer: (C)

Tan's anthropology presents a holistic, integrated view of human beings, recognizing that people are not just a physical body or a set of thoughts, but a whole person shaped by body, mind, emotions, soul, and social connections. Each dimension influences the others, and well-being or identity emerges from their interaction, which is why this multi-faceted view best fits counseling and anthropological understanding. Limiting to the body excludes mental processes, feelings, and social meaning; limiting to body and mind misses emotions, social life, and spiritual aspects; focusing only on spiritual elements ignores the tangible, cognitive, emotional, and relational sides of a person.
