Farokh J. Master - Perceiving Rubrics of the Mind
Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2002 5:48 am
Excellent work by Farokh J. Master, entitled
“Perceiving Rubrics of the Mind” -should be very useful to any homeopath who
hasn’t got 20 or 30yrs of experience in casetaking and study of Mind
repertory.. it is done in the scholarly manner which is traditional, and
most useful in homeopathy, where it is of paramount importance to maintain
links within our literature, properly sourcing authorities.
INTRODUCTION:
In 1982, I had an occasion to see the Synthetic Repertory on the desk of my
teacher Dr. Sarabhai Kapadia, who had recently procured those copies from
Germany. If I am not wrong, he was the first who used the Synthetic
Repertory in his practice with an excellent authority on the subject.
I was extremely thrilled to read the selection on the mind which covered
practically four hundred rubrics.
Within a span of 6 months, I managed to procure a copy for myself and
started reading the same.
One thing which confused me right from the start, was the interpretation of
the rubrics mentioned in the section of the mind. The only way left for me,
was to refer voluminous dictionaries to find the meaning. At that time, I
had decided that in the future it would be superb if a ready reference book
is available for the profession wherein rubrics are mentioned from A to Z
with their meanings and explanations. Gradually, I had an idea of
incorporating all the rubrics from all the major repertories, including
Vithoulkas' additions to the Kent's Repertory.
My dream would not have come true if I would not have got the encouragement
and the moral support of my students, especially the doctors, who have and
who are working with me in my Clinic. It is purely because of them that I am
able to complete this book which was my long awaited dream.
The guidelines mentioned below should be followed while reading this book:
(1) Rubrics are mentioned alphabetically from A to Z.
(2) Adjacent to the main rubric the source of the rubric is mentioned: e.g.
PAGE ix
K - Kent's Repertory;
BB - Boenninghausen's Repertory;
S - Synthetic Repertory;
V - Vithoulkas Repertory.
(3) The Cross References are mentioned wherever applicable. It should be
seen from that repertory whose code letter is indicated adjacent to the
rubric.
(4) Wherever necessary, meaning as well as the explanation of the rubric is
mentioned. If the rubric is self-explanatory, I have not given the meaning.
(5) Whenever the patient presents with certain mental symptoms, it should
be co-related with various psychological conditions. I have made an attempt
by writing the names of the important psychiatric diseases, which frequently
have the given rubric as one of their symptoms, e.g. Antagonism - is
present in disease conditions like personality disorders and Schizophrenia.
(6) Lastly, I have mentioned the name of the important remedies given for
the particular rubric.
No efforts have been spared to make the book up to date and it is hoped
that it will be useful to those practitioners who may wish to make
themselves familiar with the rubrics of the mind. I hope my attempt will be
of some help to all the busy practitioners in serving the ailing humanity. I
do not know how far I have succeeded in my work, but if this is met with the
satisfaction of at least one homoeopath, I will feel that I have been
rewarded for my labour.
