The author, Dr Fernando Risquez, has found from his experience that homoeopathic concepts and homoeopathic remedies benefited the psychotherapeutic activity. The ideas of Hahnemann as stated in his Organon of Medicine, aphorisms 208 through 213, have been successfully illustrated in the clinical cases presented in this book. Traumatic memories or important dreams provide an exquisite material for analysis and psychological synthesis. The author claims that true psychiatry is based on allowing each individual to know his own images and balance his suffering through reflection on the true motives of his daily acts. Both the homoeopath and the psychiatrist search for the most outstanding traits of this individuality to achieve, through the stimulus of a word or a dynamic remedy. The will of a man constitutes his unique dynamic individuality. Paracelsus, Hahmmann and Freud emphasized that what is important is to know the patient`s body, soul and spirit, not an erudite description of the disease and here where psychiatry and homoeopathy meet.
