The question is not just whether good or bad and right or wrong
exist for the patients - certainly they have a concept of that as
well as the homeopaths themselves . The question is why should
homeopathy use that to define how miasms started or to map the
return of the old symptoms to cleansing the sin which even
metaphorically is not the same.
From my view point these are not overarching concepts but
individualistic- killing and eating a cow is not a sin in some
religions whereas it is in some others. Even in the same religion
all of these have individual and personal interpretations for each
one of us. Spirituality is a personal thing where some concepts are
shared whereas others are not- which means this should not be the
basis for explaining the advent and growth and annihilaton of acute
or chronic diseases. It is what meaning each individual's
religious / spiritual practice has for the individual patient that
is important. Though probably the practitioner cannot but
unconsciously influence the patient in a therapeutic relationship,
this should still be something the physician should be aware of and
exert to minimise; this fact should not be used as a license to
influence the patient to adopt the same world view as the physician.
If the physician wants to deal as a Father/ mother /Creator with the
patient that itself shows unresolved issues in the physician and all
the more reason why he/she should not be dealing with the issues. We
should not allow the patients to hang their hang-ups in the hooks we
provide.
If the physician needs to feel capable of dealing with all these
archetypal issues and Father/ Mother/ Creator issues of the patient
they should probably undergo psychodynamic preparation or go thru
Murray Bowen's process of differentiation before doing this. I
understand that we want to help the patients in all ways we could
but there is also the question of "not harming the patient" in our
zeal and enthusiasm. And we certainly are NOT the answer to ALL the
patients questions and problems. Not all of us are Dumbledores....
