Volume V : Constitution, Temperament and Maps of Consciousness presents an in-depth study of physical and psychological typology. Part 1 examines the use of the 4 classical temperaments in homoeopathy, with clinical analysis and materia medica studies. Part 2 is a study of the human psyche and its development, from our early ancestors to modern times. It explores a wide range of psychological problems and mental disorders with related remedies and therapeutic hints.

Part 1 : Constitution and Temperament explains the constitutional approach to homoeopathy and introduces the Mappa Mundi, a geometric design which explains the inner relationship of the 5 elements in a concise symbolic form. This information provides a practical guide to temperamental analysis and reveals the inner teachings of the caduceus, the universal symbol of the healing arts. The portraits of the choleric, phlegmatic, sanguine and melancholic temperaments are described with their characteristic mental temperament, physical constitution and predispositions. These studies include a repertorium and materia medica section which analyses remedies suited to each temperament.

Part 2 : Maps of Consciousness is a guide to the deeper facets of the psyche. A study of classical philosophy and modern psychology are important aspects of Homoeopathy. This section describes the development of philosophy and metaphysics in history, modern psychology, the classification and treatment of mental disorders, Jungian psychology, important archetypes, psychological types, developmental psychology, neural anatomy and complexes. The last chapter explains how to use this information when interviewing patients and the ART method for testing remedies.

For those of you who know Jung's theories about the 4 elements....the two
rational ones of thinking and feeling and the non-rational ones of sensation
and intuition...He says that the one that is least developed in ourselves is
the one that is closest to the most energy, the collective unconscious. So I
wonder if there is any connection between the weakest part of our nature and
the strength of the energy of the symptoms that we express. And this brings
up so many more questions in my mind and my feelings and my intuitive
abilities and my perceptions. There is a great description somewhere in Jung's
writings about how a primitive would need each one of these functions in
learning about growing food. I'm going to go track that down.
