   This is an brilliant book, and a must for any homeopath and student (although any homeopath should remain an eternal student!) The in rank is very excellent, and I like that in addition to the mental symptoms, Paul also provides a excellent quantity of corporal symptoms. Many modern books focus only on the mental symptoms, and we should remember that homeopathy is not psychotherapy. The personality profiles are incredibly helpful, but they have to be balanced by the corporal and general symptoms. A word of caution to a student or mother: it is very common occurrence to feel that every remedy you read about fits one’s case. Don’t be fooled. One needs to be very objective to find the real simillimum. So please don’t run out and buy every remedy that you reckon fits the case, because you may end up taking every one listed in this book. But the in rank is brilliant.

   I guess if you want to get better at diagnosing your children’s constitution you have to become a homepath. And if they get really sick it is better to seek out professional homeopaths or pediatricians. But, this book is very helpful if you are interested in maintenance your kids in a healthy balance naturally. So far it is working for my kids.

   I have a few materia medicas that cover the remedies, but none do it as in depth as Herscu does. Contracted there are only nearly 8 remedies covered, but he says that 80% of kids can be effectively treated with them. And because he only covers a few remedies, you really start to really know them. Because he uses cases examples to illustrate his points, the book is a hard one to place down for the most part. Fantastic book!

   I’m a naturopathic medical student, studying homeopathy, and this book was indispensible at giving both a clear overall impression of the various major constitutional types, and also a detailed outline for reference at the end of each chapter. I know I will be using this book often in my do. Not only does he draw from various sources (repertories and materia medica) but also adds indisoensable original in rank from his successful do.
