ROH and misconceptions
Posted: Sat Sep 27, 2003 7:46 am
Hello,
Following my previous email, where I said that many of us have misconceptions about the masters of our art, I would like to present the answer Dr Yogesh Sehgal has given to me. I asked him why they use only "mental symptoms" and he said they use "mental state" to prescribe..... From my correspondences with Dr Yogesh I understood that what I had gathered from their books was incomplete and faulty.
Dr Yogesh Sehgal (the son of the late master Dr M.L.Sehgal) wrote to me:
"We don't prescribe on mental symptoms. We base our prescription only on Mental state. We don't say that physicals have no value , they have but if you are taking them with mind symptoms. You can add a few symptoms of mind + physicals like thermal + taste+ miasm and thus get the totality. But if I reach to the mental state E.g a patient who feels that it is useless to take the medicine for a small problem like cough which according to him is not a matter of concern , is not a disease state for which medicine has to be taken and he is coming to you because his family feels that he must take the medicine. It shows the Present Mental state of a patient during his problem. His attitude towards his problem. What it reflects the whole man. An individual. How he is taking his problem.? He is not trying to understand the importance of taking the medicine as according to him it is not a dieseas, he is not sick, it is only a simple cough. He is coming to you because family members are
putting pressure on him to escape from that pressure he feels it is better to take the medicine. It is to please other that he has come to you for the medicine. On his own he would not have come. He is persued by other, pushed by others.DELUSIONS, well he is
FRIVOLOUS : He feels what is the need to take medicine for such a small problem. He is floating on the surface with his attitude. Not thinking deep about the consequences of having a cough for which others are so serious but he is not.
WELL, says he is when , very sick : when all people around him are taking his problem so seriously and pushing him to visit the dr. he is still satisfy and does not feel he is sick. Well is a state of satisfaction.
Here I am trying to focus on an individual deep into his psyche, feel him what he is."
With best wishes,
