The way to the remedy

Objectivity:

Organon of Medicine, Aphorism 83: This individualizing examination of a case (......) demands of the physician nothing but freedom from prejudice and sound senses, attention in observing and fidelity in tracing the picture of the disease.

The way to the remedy

Make explicit:

Not only what is said but how it is said determines the understanding of the case and the choice of the remedy

The way to the remedy

The rare and peculiar:

Organon of Medicine: Aphorism 153 and 154: .....more striking, singular, uncommon en peculiar (characteristic) signs and symptoms ....are the most suitable for effecting the cure. Often the rare and peculiar is invisible in paper cases.

The way to the remedy

Energy of the case

The energy of the case is mainly notable by the intensity of the words used, the facial expression and the hand gestures. Of all these hand gestures are the least conscious and controlled.

The way to the remedy

Evaluation of the effect of the remedy

Often in the first follow ups the words of the patient will be exactly the same but the intensity will have gone down.

The way the patient perceives the events in his/her life points to the state In anamnesis we focus on what and how does it feel? not on why?
