UNITS:
(FUNCTIONAL)
1.
Case Receiving:
Student will get an opportunity to have direct interactions
with the patient.
Homeopathic case taking demands emotional, educational &
spiritual preparation of the interviewer. Finer analysis of case
taking brings out conceptual base of patient as well as physician
on which they are talking. As Hahnemann rightly mentions in aphorism
6 – Unprejudiced observer can alone perceive the right totality.
Systematic handling of the interview can facilitate physician’s
journey towards discovery of his own prejudices.
Understanding of inadequacies of case taking will highlight
physician’s strength & weaknesses of his specific & general
knowledge.
Clinical exposure to Acute & chronic case follow ups. Candidate will have ample opportunity to see various acute
cases like infective illness, respiratory, gastrointestinal etc.
There will be interactive session to learn approach to acute disease.
2.
Clinical module will focus on importance of clinical diagnosis &
homeopathic prescribing.
How to evolve clinical
reasoning through:
-
Comprehensive evolutionary study
of complaints
-
Physical examination
-
Investigations- Pathological,
Radiological, of scan, MRI etc.
3.
Perceiving totality through various approaches:
- Qualified
symptoms-PQRS, key note prescribing
- Perceiving
characteristic state of disposition aphorism 211.How to translate
it in the language of Materia Medica & repertory
- Revising
& reflecting Master’s teachings- Kent, Bonneinghaussen, Boger,
Clarke, Phatak etc.
4.Perceiving
mind-
-
Breaking myths & misconceptions
to perceive the essential mind.
-
Abstractions v/s hard factual
characteristics, their differential evaluation & implications
to perceive the qualified aspect of the mind.
- Utilizing
scientific tools to perceive the depth of mind- systematic study
of concept of Psychodynamic, psychosomatics etc.
- Dreams-
the mirror of the mind. Scientific interpretation of the dreams.
Objectives
would be to perceive holistic integrated understanding of the mind.
5.
The Chronic Miasms- Concept & applications
Homeopathic
education needs to achieve an integration of the Hahnemannian principles
with the modern medical knowledges. There will be sound clinico-immuno
pathological correlations with the theory of chronic miasms.
Illustrative
cases will demonstrate applications of concepts in practice.
6.
Materia Medica
Differential
World of Materia Medica:
Kent
has rightly mentioned that there is no royal road to the study of
materia medica. Effective materia medica helpful at bedside can
evolve by skillful and artistic use of the repertory and finally
to critically analyzed clinical experiences.
The
great master, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, the scientist & the artist,
directed homoeopathic physician to pay attention to deviations from
the former healthy state of the now diseased individual & recognize
the ‘true and only conceivable portrait of the disease (Aph.6);
Artist sensitively receives impressions of the subject and projects
this experience on the canvas. Portrait, thus becomes task demanding
sensitivity, authenticity and integrity of the artist along with
mastery over skills and methods and techniques he employs to give
expression to his perceptions. In contrast to an artist, portrait
drawn by a Homoeopathic physician is quite dynamic. It needs to
incorporate on going clinical experiences of patients which may
demand continuous modifications. In order to ensure fineness and
depth of portrait it is important that it has multiple facets and
evolutionary perspective. This is possible provided physician has
sound conceptual base to analyze & synthesize clinical experiences
integrating psychosomatic, clinic pathological aspects.
What
is available to the physician is the behavior and narration of the
individual. Physician has to go beyond these gestures and words
in order to unearth the underlying state of feelings and thoughts.
Then only he can make deep inroad towards the core of the person.
This facilitates his travel towards perceiving the characteristic
state of disposition as mentioned in aphorism 211.
Comprehensive
study of life experiences of the individual, psychodynamic analysis
of these experiences and available qualified features permit us
to perceive this state. Every trait has sensory as well as motor
components. A particular trait evolves with other co-ordinates.
All together, build up the state. When we study this from the perspective
of repertory, materia medica and clinical dimension, we can build
up the portrait.
To
understand this approach we have taken up REJECTION (forsaken feeling)
as one of the themes.
We
will discuss in details through ILLUSTRATIVE CASE MATERIALS<
differential diagnosis of various remedies with the central theme
of REJECTION
Following
drugs will be taken up:
1.
MAGNESIUM GROUP 4. NAJA
2.
HURA BRAZILIENS 5. PLATINA
3.
LACHESIS 6.
PULSATILLA
During
workshop, through various clinical cases there will be discussion
of differential world of Materia Medica. Attempt will be made to
evolve the portrait with finer shades.
Similarly
themes like ‘conscience’, ‘Ego’ will also be touched upon.
7.Susceptibility
& Posology:
We
need to utilize our integrated understanding of disease phenomena,
active Miasms & totality to judge precisely the state of susceptibility.
Spandan has evolved multidimensional model to judge the state of
susceptibility based on appreciation of reactivity, immunity/ morbidity,
sensitivity & vitality.
Each
case will be studied to grasp all aspects of susceptibility
There
is lot of confusion about posology in Homoeopathic profession. Quite
often we see contradictory diverse views. After painstaking efforts,
Homoeopathic physician finds out the correct drug for the patient.
If his selection of the potency and repetition and subsequent appreciation
of remedy response are not proper, he fails to manage the case.
Dr.
Barvalia has evolved an integrated scientific model to judge accurately
the state of susceptibility. Following are its vital components
- Immunity
- Reactivity
- Vitality and
- Sensitivity
They are evaluated in the backdrop of miasms, suppressions
and living.
This
ANALYTICAL – SYNTHETIC APPROACH helps us to perceive susceptibility,
scientifically evaluate responses and thus management of difficult
complex cases.
All
these concepts will be discussed through illustrative case materials
of Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, Hyperthyroidism, Acid peptic disease,
as well as clinical experiences which delegates have encountered
during the workshop.
Hahnemann
championed “medicine of experience” as against that of ‘opinions’.
Focus
is on authentic, integrated experiences. This permits proper conceptualization
and evolves reason.
8.
Acute Prescribing:
Hahnemann’s
classification of disease provides us valuable insights to perceive
intristic nature of the disease.
Acute
and chronic diseases are two phases of the continuous spectrum of
the impaired state of susceptibility.
Both
are closely interrelated with each other and should not be considered
in isolation.
Practice
demand precise delineation of acute disorder, its philosophical
dimension and its relationship with chronic constitutional totality.
This permits us efficient management of acute phase of the illness.
Course
will focus on following aspects of acute disorders.
Acute
disorders – Concepts, classification & management:
- Acute exacerbation
- Acute periodical expression
- Acute
Emergency
- Acute
disease
- Acute
state
- Relationship
between ‘acute episode’ & chronic disease
- Exploring
acute disorder from the standpoint of susceptibility and miasm
- Therapeutics
of acute disorder
9.
Repertory:
Repertory
is an instrument par excellence which establishes bridge between
artificial drug disease and natural disease.
In
order to use it efficiency in practice, we should grasp its philosophy,
construction method and technique of utility.
Course
will explore application of various repertories in practice.
Focus
will be scientific and correct use of the Repertory.
10.Management:
Holistic
approach will demand to total care of all the aspects of the case;
its exciting as well as maintaining causes. For this wherever necessary,
Psychotherapy, physiotherapy, ancillary measures, diet & regimen
instructions are quite important.
11.Orientation to advanced projects & research methodology:
This module will give an orientation to the learner about
case conceptualization.
Physician utilizes his knowledges / experiences for the various
clinical action he releases. His capacity to abstract, integrate
and logically correlate from various dimensions of the clinical
situations. Through analysis of clinical experiences of case management,
sharing them in the group and evaluation from seniors help this
process.
Since
foundation has evolved multidisciplinary holistic superspeciality
projects in various fields viz. developmental disability, mental
health, thyroid, tuberculosis, psoriasis, HIV/AIDS etc. it is possible
to provide forum for advance learning. Student’s exposure in this
area helps to develop this faculty and orients him well towards
case conceptualization. This helps to cultivate aptitude towards
research. Fellowship would enhance this gain.
1)
CLASSICAL HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH TOWARDS COMPLEX CHILDHOOD DISORDERS
Spandan Holistic Child Care Centre has been working through
holistic multidisciplinary approach in the field of child care.
Quality research is an integral component of the functioning of
the institute. Cases are treated exclusively by homoeopathy, but
through standard protocol and evaluated through competent experts
like clinical psychologist, neurologist, special educators etc.
300
cases of Autism, ADHD, & learning disorders etc. have
been homeopathically managed over last 7 years. Several scientific
papers have been presented in national and international seminars.
Students will witness actual case management. They will get
opportunity to interact with all experts managing these cases. There
will be video presentation of various documental cases with extensive
follow up. Case concepts which allowed successful management of
these cases would be discussed in details by Dr. Barvalia. He has
evolved a conceptual model, extremely helpful in practice to grasp
the dynamic portrait of the child.
These
children are receiving holistic multidisciplinary care. This is
vital exposure, which gives good insight into the management concepts
of these complex disorders & also gives fair idea about role
of Homeopathy in these disorders.
