The go-to repertory for those cases where the sensation is deeply marked and well-described
Perfect for looking up the outstanding rare, strange and peculiar symptoms
Roberts “Sensations as if” has various single-remedy-rubrics, which are written in the refined language of the prover
As the Homeopathy is established on matching the detailed account of your patient’s sign and symptoms with a uniformly detailed account of proving symptoms, then Dr. Roberts’ “Sensations as if” is the flawless and perfect repertory to have to hand when reading the highly characteristic sensations of a remedy or case.
Roberts “Sensations as if” lists all the subjective symptoms of various remedies in a Kentian hierarchical structure
It is based on the source texts of Allen, Clarke, Hering, Yingling and Anschutz.
When to use “Sensations as if” in case work?
Roberts’ unique and distinctive repertory can provide useful insights into stuck cases where the customary approach of analyzing the totality of case yields remedies that have been attempted without adequate result.
The Homeopaths may wish to use the multiple clipboards on offer in the RadarOpus to supplement a conventional repertorisation of the totality of symptoms with a second analysis of the characteristic subjective symptoms.
Going straight to the rare, strange and peculiar (as Hahnemann recommends in his aphorism 153) can provide an entry point that grabs you to the center of the case, via the most intensely experienced sensation.
The “Sensations as if” helps the Homeopaths to learn about small remedies
- For example, the remedy Samarskite – which was proven by Dr. Boger, has precious and valuable few symptoms in the literature.
- Yet in Roberts’ “Sensations as if” repertory, we find some immense useful indications for this under-used remedy
- The hallmark and indication of case taking in Homoeopathy is the understanding core of the individual, his mental status, behavioral aspects and psychological. Huge importance is given to sensations and reactions of the emotions rather than feelings or the emotions itself.
- Roberts immensely emphasized on the patient’s own individual expressions as an important and prime aspect of case taking.
- A sensation in Homoeopathy is an internal feeling. It can be as easy as describing a pain, or as delicate as describing the feeling of being alone or lonely. It is not only an emotion such as anger or sadness but rather how one would accomplish and experience such anger or sadness. Sensations have always been vastly important in finding the accurate Homeopathic remedies because they can express more directly to the particular nature of an individual.
