This book is the third and final title in a trio of excellent reference books for the professional homeopath. Building on the first two volumes, this one is written to assist with difficult and challenging cases. It is also a bridge to this author's next work on finding the simillimum using Carl Jung's concept of the central delusion.

The book covers advanced case taking and advanced case management and focuses on four major issues that are often controversial amongst modern homeopaths.

The first is 'Eleven Major Questions,' - questions to be asked when taking the case to improve the likelihood of finding the simillimum. Attention is given to the important issue of emotional trauma that may have occurred during gestation, i.e. trauma of the uterus. The author reflects on the epidemic of children being born with developmental and/or behavioural disorders and the deep value to be gained from understanding the roots of this dis-ease and the role that emotional uterine trauma might play. The second issue De Schepper explores is miasmatic theory - Hahnemann's 'gift' to mankind. The third is potency selection, and the fourth, Hering's Set of Observations of Cure.

This work represents a fine-tuning of several homeopathic principles and a keen distillation of their significance when it comes to the practice of finding a patient's simillimum.

A homeopath, lecturer and brilliant Hahnemannian scholar, Luc De Schepper's advanced guide for homeopaths is a very readable and thought-provoking work, delving deep into some of the more intractable concerns many modern homeopaths find themselves presented with in their daily practice and offering creative, as well as time-honoured, solutions borne from his many years of clinical experience.

Suitable for the professional homeopath.
