"Mind is the key to man" - Dr. Samuel Hahnemann
A
work based on S
Y N T H E S I S
This work is meant for the serious students of Homoeopathy and
for those who sincerely want to understand and interpret the
rubrics. It does not promise solutions but it represents an
honest search. Special Thanks To Prof. K. B. RAMESH For
his valuable comments and suggestions.
Explanations and Examples Given By Eminent Authors and My
Beloved Teachers are Also Included.
Most of the
Homoeopaths consider the symptoms of the human mind to be the
most important one while treating any case. He mind covers the
emotional as well as the intellectual and communicational
characteristics. To be acceptable the mind symptoms must be
peculiar and characteristics of the patient.
Mental symptoms
play a very important role in unfolding the true image of the
sickness, but in practical experience it is very difficult to
obtain from the sick person and also very difficult to
understand or interpret them correctly. Repertory which is an
index of symptoms can be utilized in a better manner only when
the user is aware of how to convert the conditions into
symptoms, and the symptoms in to rubrics.
Many of the
practitioners and students find it very difficult to interpret
these symptoms and conditions to refer in the repertory and to
arrive at the similimum. And this is an effort to help the
practitioners especially the new comers in using the repertory.
Many of the rubric are ambiguous and implicit and need a
continues study for using these rubrics in bedside.
Majority of the rubrics found in the mind as well as in the
generalities are neglected by the common practitioners for want
of correct understanding and interpretation of the rubrics.
Hence the meaning as well as the denotations of the important
rubrics of the Synthesis repertory are explained here under. The
mental rubrics are difficult to understand by dictionary
meanings alone. We should understand the correct means assigned
to a particular rubric. Homoeopathic physician even if given
mental symptoms by the patient, unable to perceive the case
because of his lack of knowledge in this field. He ignores such
symptoms unintentionally and the case may be a failure.
One of the main problems we encounter in practice is the
conversion of the patients’ symptoms in the proper language of
the repertory. In order to overcome this problem we shall be
able to understand exactly the meaning of each rubrics, sub
rubrics with cross references and remedies. The work has been
made with the purpose of helping the students and practitioners
who my wish to make themselves familiar with the rubrics of the
mind. Meanings as well as the explanations of the rubrics
mentioned along with appropriate examples for easy
comprehension.
I make no pretence that this work is either complete or final. I
had made an honest attempt to compile explanations and examples
given by eminent authors and my beloved teachers together.
Despite all these there are limitations in the interpretations
of rubrics and the void is to be filled by the experience of
the practitioner with the knowledge of Materia medica.
My aim is to
stimulate the students and practitioners to make their own ideas
and observations. I welcome any suggestions from any quarter it
may be, so that this work can be improved upon. - Dr.K.R.MANSOOR ALI
