This is a 'how to' book for trainee and newly qualified homoeopaths. It aims to teach clinical method to students of homoeopathy up to the level at which doctors would be prepared to take the MFHom exam of the Faculty of Homoeopathy (the UK organisation of medically qualified homoeopaths). Once they have passed that exam the doctor can proceed to specialist homoeopathic practice. It will also inform the practice of doctors who take shorter courses, eg the introductory weekend course offered by the Faculty, or any international teaching body. The solution this book will provide for medical students of homoeopathy is to bridge the gap between their normal medical practice (questions asked, diagnosis made) and the approach needed to reach a conclusion which suggests a homoeopathic remedy. It takes the reader through the process of broadening their analysis and routes of enquiry to include the base of what they know medically and adding the homoeopathic perspective which will enrich their practice. Instead of focusing on the history, philosophy and materia medica of homoeopathy, the text refers to these topics as illustrations of its main themes ie 'This patient is suffering from...therefore the most appropriate homoeopathic remedy is.
..'. Features: * A patient focused, practical guide for the medically qualified student homoeopath and recently qualified homoeopath * Clearly structured lead into real practice in homoeopathy - not a theoretical explanation of concepts * A key text for any healthcare practitioner seeking to move into serious study of homoeopathic medicine * Shows how clinical method in homoeopathy can enrich the approach to clinical method in medicine in general
