Homeopath David Johnson reviews Alastair Gray’s new book, “Case-taking: Best Practice and Creating Meaning in the Consulting Room.”
Alistair Gray’s “Case-taking: Best Practice and Creating Meaning in the Consulting Room” is the first in a series of seven books viewing the landscape of current homeopathic practice. What better place to start an exploration of homeopathic practice than case taking?! This book is an excellent, thought-provoking review and critique of homeopathic case-taking, beginning with our roots in Hahnemannian practice and continuing to the present time.
