What really happens in the homeopathic consultation? Homeopathic medicine, to some practitioners, is a simple process of gathering information, extracting symptoms from the client and observing the disease. To others it is a cognitive, deductive process of deconstructing a patient.

Alastair Gray in his travelling has surveyed it all; history, methodology, technique and controversy, all with a fresh and aptly critical eye. In this piece of work Gray has provided us with a blueprint for the different ideas and approaches used in eliciting the information required for a successful practice.

Gray provides an exhaustive overview of the history and diversity of homeopathic case taking, with the academic citations to the original sources, with reference to the slight and significant changes incase taking that have evolved over the past 200 years, and with specific and practical applications to the varying styles of homeopathic practice that have emerged since homeopathy's inception.

To say it is an encyclopedic approach to the subject which proves to be a major contribution to homeopathic offering a thorough description of the history of homeopathy, and a glimpse into its future. The author faces contentious issues directly, and questions existing standards with rigor. It leaves the reader impatient to discover what gems the remaining six books in the series will contain.

Besides being of value to students of homeopathy, this book is also a valuable resource for practicing homeopaths who often needed to be reminded of the origins of the case taking process as well as its most recent developments as a means of creatively and effectively understand the patients.

This seminal work belongs on the bookshelves of all students and practitioners of homeopathy.
