9780906584255: Tutorials on Homoeopathy

Synopsis

This book offers the reader an insight into Dr Foubister's clinical experience, gained over a long career in homoeopathic practice. His writings are remarkable for the extent of his knowledge and his close attention to detail. Fortunately he was able to oversee the preparation of the manuscript before his death in 1988. The contents reflect many of his particular strengths. The first section studies the factors that underlie the homoeopath's evaluation of the individual patient. This is followed by a section of several chapters on paediatrics, in which he excelled. There is then a comprehensive section on Carcinosin - his development of the Carcinosin remedy picture was his major contribution to homoeopathy and it gained him worldwide acclaim. He then discusses a number of other remedies in detail, with a final section on specific conditions. The book ends with an Appendix of therapeutic hints that had served him well.

Synopsis

Donald McD. Foubister practised homoeopathy from 1937 until his death in 1988. During his retirement he gave tutorials on this subject to many doctors from Britain and overseas. This book reflects the content of those tutorials, and the author's vast experience in the field. Originally appointed as house physician at the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital, Foubister went on to serve as a medical officer during World War II, where he practised homoeopathy despite official disapproval. In 1946 he was assistant physician in the Children's Department of the Royal London Homoeopathic Hospital, and in 1955 was admitted as a Fellow in the Faculty of Homoeopathy. He was elected President of the Faculty of Homoeopathy from 1970 to 1972.
