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.
