Synopsis

This is a comprehensive, modern textbook of the principles and practice of homeopathy. The book provides a detailed, practical and thorough basis for the understanding and the application of homeopathy. Drawing on the experience and knowledge of a wealth of international contributors, the book offers the foundations for the safe and broadest practice of modern homeopathy. The book is divided into 6 sections that take the understanding of homeopathy from basic principles through the treatment of acute, chronic illnesses, the first prescription, the difficult case and incurable cases. Themes broadly divided into philosophy, material medica, case taking and dynamic material medica used to develop homeopathic education are woven through and revisited throughout the text.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This exceptional book gathers, reflects on, and deeply enquires into, the evolving principles of homeopathy in a way that encourages any practitioner to develop themselves, their understanding and their art. Written with an approach that invites reflective pause, the reader is supported, encouraged and challenged to review issues of health, self, illness, caring and treatment. This weave is practical and accessible, rooted in clinical practice and examples, yet tackles at the same time the profound issues and questions which homeopathic practice and training raises. This is an important step forward in homeopathic textbooks that I would recommend whatever your current level of practice. --David Reilly, Consultant, Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital, Researcher and Teacher, Glasgow Homeopathic Academic Centre

At last, the first comprehensive modern homeopathy textbook in English since Herbert Roberts in 1936 and George Vithoulkas in 1978, and it surpasses them both. Despite being a textbook it is exciting and innovative with time and space for reflection and personal growth. The inspired choice of authors for some of the chapters (Sherr, Norland and Curtin, for example) crosses boundaries and enlivens the discussions. Read this and your practical understanding of the theories of homeopathy will grow. It is equally suitable for experienced medical and professional homeopaths, and for students on all qualification courses. --Francis Treuherz MA RSHom FSHom, Registered Homeopath, Homeopathic Private Practitioner, London and Letchworth, UK

This book drips holism and there is wisdom here aplenty. Speaking as someone who has wrestled with homeopathy for 30 years, David's book touches on concerns and connections that any serious practitioner will share. I predict it will become a classic. --Professor David Peters, School of Integrated Health, University of Westminster, London, UK
