The correct spelling is "holistic". This word, which means considering the whole when analyzing a part, comes from the Greek "holos" which means "whole". "Wholistic" is a common misspelling due to the confusion with the word "whole". Although you might see "wholistic" in some texts, it's not officially accepted. Just remember, when you're talking about something holistic, you're looking at the 'whole' picture!
