At an analytical level, Holthe works with how the Norwegian society's concepts about health and normality are played out in the therapeutic life sciences. Georges Canguilhems book about the normal and the pathological from 1930 serves as one point of departure in this respect. Canguilhem writes: " Being healthy means being not only normal in a given situation but also normative in this and other eventual situations. What characterises health is the possibility of transcending the norm, which defines the momentary normal, the possibility of tolerating infractions of the habitual norm and instituting new norms in new situations." (Canguilhem, Georges (1931): The normal and the pathological. Zone Books, New York).
