Re: Case Analysis online course
If you don't know the logic needed for keeping the number of rubrics that you repertorize under 6 (in general, there are exceptions) and you take no other courses from Will, I highly recommend this one.
Way back when, Aradavan (Shahrdar) offered to teach anyone by email. I answered. The problem was, I didn't know how to analyze a case so that it had a clear focus. Ardavan sent my money back because he realized that teaching that art is very difficult. Will teaches so that anyone can understand the logic. He very clear. It seems that he has a warm knife to cut frozen butter (the mystery of case analysis).
Will is assuming in general that students use a computer database repertory. But, the rules are the same if you are using a paper book. In either case, you have to know how to differentiate the power of different rubrics. From one case to another case there are different conditions, so you need to know the possible rationale behind rubric choice in a variety of settings. This is different than knowing remedies, but ultimately, the development of a remedy picture is based on the same kind of thinking.

Re: Case Analysis online course
thanks Ellen!
I’ll be using examples worked out on paper using print resources as well, tho I cannot imagine clinical life without electronifying some of the more tedious steps in accessing our literature. Years ago, a deer hunter took out the power to the peninsula I lived on in Maine (must’ve been aiming at a pretty tall deer, to hit the power lines! - tho I’m sure the Budweiser played a role) and I needed to resort to a kerosene lamp, a print version of Künzli’s Repertory, and printed repertorization sheets until the power company could get their amphibious equipment into the marsh for repairs. Useful to rehearse for scenarios such as that.

Re: Case Analysis online course
My worst case scenario is always no electricity. Which repertory would I have under my arm as I escaped my collapsing house. Actually, I should bury a repertory in the garden because I am never going to get out fast enough grabbing books. Which rep do you think I should bury? Künzli’s Repertory. That is Will's favorite. I don't have it, yet. It seems to be out of print.
When Tokyo burned during WWII, my mother-in-law buried her dresser drawers under her house. The houses burned to the ground and people who rushed to dig out their belongings found that the furniture stored so much heat that they burst into flames. My mother-in-law waited 2 weeks, so I am still using hers. They are made from kiri （Paulownia tomentosa which is a kind of ancient conifer) and they are relatively moisture tight. It is quite dark from the heat. I like that dresser because it helps to create some perspective on life.
