– Repertory symptoms organised by concepts

– The most significant remedies contextualised in the symptom area

– Cross-references, synonyms, clinical associations and possible themes

– Where to find the so-called mental symptoms beyond the “Mind” section

The conferences are aimed at users of any program and any homeopathic repertory. In my presentations, I will use the new Suggesta 2.0.

The first lecture, open to all and free of charge, is a reflection on the history and use of the repertory and its epochal change since the introduction of information technology in homeopathic medicine:

– The peculiarities of the computerised repertory compared to the paper version: the epochal difference in thinking about the use of our literature and its reliability.

– Why a “suggestor” and what distinguishes Suggesta 2.0 from other repertories: strengths, weaknesses and integration with other texts. An invitation to reflect on so-called repertory symptoms in terms of localisation, function, organisation, clinical confirmation and current medical terminology.

– The main differences and characteristics of the structure of Suggesta 2.0 compared to other repertories. The organisation of the macro-sections in Suggesta. The original sections: Illnesses, Age, Obstetrics. How they were constructed and their repertorial use in clinical confirmation and differential diagnosis.

– The function of peculiar symptoms/concepts such as concomitant, sensation, emotional, localisation. The so-called Mind as a representation in the body of the way the entire system functions.

– The specific organisation of symptoms related to pain: extreme, penetrating, corrosive, burning, sharp, superficial, etc. The onset of pain, its persistence, extent, migration, etc.

– New symptoms in the “old” sections such as Mind, Generalities, Thorax, Genitalia, etc.: from bulimia to the distinction between fears and phobias, from addictions (drugs, alcohol, tobacco, etc.) to oppositional behaviour, from allergies to food symptoms, from infertility to endometriosis… and much more.

– The Illnesses macro-section.

The conferences will be available to groups of 5.
