by Prof. Dr. Shashi Kant Tiwari
Every successful homeopath makes use of various repertories for the selection of the simillimum. Even if the case is well taken, in certain cases, finding out the similar remedy, which covers the totality, is a herculean task and at this juncture repertories are helpful. Various types of repertories have been evolved since the time of Hahnemann, but all these are of little use to a practitioner unless he knows how to use them properly.
About Book
Dr Tiwari’s book elucidates the scientific and artistic use of repertories to attain the desired end. This book gives a clear understanding of the history, development, and procedure of repertorisation elaborated by Kent, Boenninghausen, and Boger and, in general, deals with other repertories. Wherever needed, illustrations and cases have been provided in order to give to the learners a detailed and correct idea about the practical aspects of repertorization.
This work is not intended to be one more addition to the rich and varied homoeopathic literature, but to reiterate the value and importance of repertories as well as the need for a thorough acquaintance with their philosophy and construction so that they are put to maximum use and the practice is firmly based on logical and scientific ground.
