First edition:1991

Price:Rs.200

Pages:268.

This is a rare book that touches one at
all levels. It is intellectually stimulating and thought-provoking with a
foreward by Dr.Jost Kunzli. At the emotional level, some of the cases are
very touching and show the authors insight into understanding the human
psyche-an ability worth acquiring. At the level of reading, it is a
absorbing as a best seller novel. The book presents the ideas resented by
the author at the seminars conducted by him in Europe and India from 1986
to 1990.

It covers many aspects of Homoeopathy
viz Philosophy, understanding the mind, case-taking, finding the remedy
and Materia Medica.

In the chapter on Case-taking and
finding the remedy, the author has been able to share his insights and
successes at treating cases. The section on HOMOEO-Psychotherapy also
presents a new say of looking at a case, and treating it.

The chapter on Materia Medica presents
many lesser used medicines. New light is thrown also on understanding such
well known medicines like Nit acid, Flouric acid, Phosphorus, Graphites
and many others with the backing of cases and Repertorial Rubrics, a
feature from which many homoeopaths will benefit.

Dr.Rajans analysis of symptoms and
their conversion into rubrics reflect his depth and acumen in
understanding the patient as well as his expertise at using the repertory.
The book deserves not only a prominent place on every Homoeopaths book
shelf, but will prove of immense benefit in increasing his success rate if
the various approaches illustrated in it are properly studied and applied
in practice.

The homoeopathic world eagerly awaits
further contributions from who has been able to express his original ideas
and experiences with crystal clear thinking Indeed what is presented here
is only the tip of an iceberg.
