ABOUT THE CONTEXT it's not a purely philosophical context. it is actually the brochure of a beauty centre: starting from this "solistic" point of view (=centrality of human beings), they provide all kind of treatments for the body.
thanks to everybody!

for info

more context would help, but while this looks like a typo, I'm not entirely sure because

1) solipsism is concerned, as Thomas says, with the question of other minds and how we can be certain of anything outside our selves: it is not principally concerned with the centrality of man

2) there is a new(-ish, -age?) philosphy called Solism. It seems to be a poorly-defined type of latter-day mysticism, or even some kind of gaming fiction, but it does seem to regard man as the central phenomenon in the world and, depending on the context, it may be that this is what the text is referring to.

solipsistic

Introspective understanding of personal identity. Related to the problem within analytic philosophy of "other minds".

I think this is what you mean, would need more context to be sure.

holistic

Could this be the more correct translation-commonly used in English when relating to treatments-they provide for the mental and physical wellbeing.

1 : of or relating to holism
2 : relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts <holistic medicine attempts to treat both the mind and the body> <holistic ecology views man and the environment as a single system>
