Homeopathy: The Art of Taking the Case
Nothing in homeopathy is more important than taking the case. It is a skill acquired by both tuition and experience. Without it, we cannot hope to find the correct remedy without using a pendulum or some sort of gadget – neither of which is reliable or anything to do with Classical Homeopathy. For me, the homeopathic case taking, in its deep respect and appreciation of the patient’s subjective experience of the story of his/her illness is both incredibly elegant and totally unique. That we can receive what patients tell us in this holistic way, not only out of respect, but out of necessity in finding the correct medicine for them is what drew me to homeopathy over 40 years ago and continues to inspire me to work on my case-taking technique in perpetuity and in this workshop I shall share as much as I can of my knowledge and experience with participants. The workshop will be interactive with plenty of time for homeopathic conversations.

Dr Brian Kaplan, medical doctor and internationally renowned homeopath and teacher, shares his insights into how to create and improve the most crucial factor in the practice of homeopathy – the bond of understanding between practitioner and patient.
In this personal and passionately argued book, Dr Kaplan traces his journey away from the mechanistic world of conventional medicine towards the empathetic, person-centred philosophy of homeopathy. He explains the unique approach of this increasingly respected alternative medicine, explores the ideas and philosophies of its pioneers, and provides reasoned advice, based on many decades of committed practice and study, on how to fulfil its huge potential as a healing art.
The Homeopathic Conversation is a must-read for practitioners, teachers, students, patients and anyone else with a serious interest in homeopathy.
