About the Book 
|
This book offers 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 rigour. It leaves the reader impatient to discover
what gems the remaining six books in the series will contain.’
—Dr Isaac Golden, Australia
‘Al Gray navigates the often turbulent waters of different homeopathic gurus in
a refreshing way. No doubt those whose systems he describes will find a
sympathetic yet critical examination of their approaches. This is a breath of fresh
air, it is not the voice of the apologist or sycophant but rather a considered
critical examination of some of the greatest influences upon modern homeopathic
practice.’
—Susanna Shelton, NZ
‘The art of taking the case is much neglected in homeopathy but certainly not by
Alastair C. Gray. This encyclopaedic approach to the subject is a major contribution
to homeopathic literature.’
—Dr Brian Kaplan, UK
‘If I had this book during my days as a homeopathy student, I would not have
taken such a muddled path to acquire my homeopathic case taking skills! This
book on Homeopathic Case taking by Alastair Gray is going to be on the
compulsory books listed for my BHMS students.’
—Dr Suriyakantun Osman, Malaysia

Editorial Reviews:

Reading this book made me aware of what a huge task it is to become a homeopath ... of just how many pieces are involved in this one case-taking part of our process as healers. Alastair has provided a beautiful tableau for homeopathic educators and students - painting the broad strokes of a varied landscape and a plethora of fine lines as well. This is a conversation about case-taking for the contemporary homeopath. And it is good. Very good. - Miranda Castro, USA

In travelling this landscape Alastair has surveyed it all; history, methodology, technique and controversy, all with a fresh and aptly critical eye.

Alastair Gray’s new work, The Landscape of Homeopathic Medicine Volume One, represents a cogent and incisive analysis of one of the most important aspects of homeopathy – the art of taking the patients case. By reviewing the historical development of this essential component of homeopathic practice, Mr. Gray has provided us with a blueprint for the different ideas and approaches used in eliciting the information required for a successful practice. This seminal work belongs on the bookshelves of all students and practitioners of homeopathy.

When an author begins a thoughtful and thorough work on a complex topic with the statement that the book is the first of seven, the reader knows that they are dealing with someone who is tenacious, with vision, and with a genuine passion for their subject. Alastair Gray has all of these qualities, and more. He is an outstanding practitioner, a teacher with international credentials, and an accomplished author. This book offers the reader both 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 rigour. He begins his seven-part series with the topic of case taking which, in my opinion, is completely appropriate. If a practitioner cannot take a complete and accurate case, if the true intellectual, psychological and physical characteristics of the patient are not discovered, and if the fundamental causes of the patient’s condition are not found, then a successful prescription cannot be guaranteed in chronic conditions. The author offers the reader an insight into homeopathic case-taking that is conceptually as well as practically complete. The book leaves the reader impatient to discover what gems the remaining six books in the series will contain. - Dr Isaac Golden, Australia
