Book description
The art and science of truly successful homeopathic medicine. With the
recent resurgence in the practice of homeopathy -- whether practiced
alone or as a complement to other types of medicine -- comes an
unprecedented demand for well-educated, highly trained practitioners.
What type of education will lead to true success? Can the art of
homeopathy be taught alongside the scientific concepts? Generations of
homeopaths have mastered such concepts as homeoprophylaxis, genus
epidemicus, and constitution, but only the truly successful
practitioners have achieved a level of understanding far beyond simply
dealing with patients. In this unique book, homeopath Chris Kurz offers
a highly effective -- and fun -- approach to learning and importantly,
retaining, all of the important concepts of homeopathy. Using vivid
analogies and informal language, Kurz emphasizes the importance of true
insight rather than rote memorization. Infusing a student's personal
experience with creativity and imagination creates the most fertile
ground for discovering and developing true insight and knowledge of
homeopathy. Each chapter explores a concept through the lens of an
experiment, metaphor, or image. For example, an intense examination of a
common lemon brings home the notions of totality and the law of
similars; a road map unlocks the mysteries of Miasms, and a game of golf
illustrates important issues of case management. The result of years
working with students, Kurz's inspirational and thought-provoking
approach places the patient at the center of the learning process, as in
everyday practice. Imagine Homeopathy is invaluable as a guide for
teachers, an introduction for novices and laypeople, and a provocative
refresher for seasoned practitioners. "A surprising book on
homeopathic philosophy. Chapters cover topics from elementary to
advanced...organized so they can be used in classrooms, or other
teaching environments. This book would be interesting to both patients
and practitioners alike. It provides a foundation knowledge of
homeopathy, based on science that would even inform skeptics. Imaging
Homeopathy is a unique book that provides a refreshing approach to
homeopathic insight and teaching." --The American Homeopath_x000D_
_x000D_ "Chris Kurz offers us a unique experience...[he] has found
a way to harness the powers of our whole creativity, intuition and
mental capacity in exploring the known and lesser known facts of
homeopathy. The seventeen chapters take us on a journey through the
landscape of homeopathy...and does so in a novel way that makes [the
book] hard to put down. Images and metaphors stimulate imagination and
work hand-in-hand with science, opening new pathways that take us to
discover what homeopathy is and where we can go with it. _x000D_ _x000D_
"I experienced "Imagine Homeopathy" as a really
interactive book. It stimulated me to think, imagine, play, gave birth
to new thoughts and questions and a whole new level of understanding.
This is a book that you will read and (live through) with pleasure, and
at the end you will find yourself in possession of the kind of quantity
and quality of knowledge that usually asks for hours of head splitting
study and years of trial and error experience. "Imagine
homeopathy" is useful for dedicated teachers, a good way to start
looking into homeopathy for beginners, and a stimulating companion for
seasoned homeopaths in their lifelong homeopathic journey." --Dr.
