Manual of Psychiatry

Details

Another in the series of detailed and comprehensive workbooks for homeopathic students and practitioners, which differentiate the true peculiarity of the individual from the common symptoms of the disease.

It aids in understanding the pathological or physical condition to which a rubric refers. The information may assist in early diagnosis of the disease condition -- and more accurate prescriptions are the result.

Bakshi's work acts as a bridge between homeopathy and the allopathic system of medicine; disease analysis is greatly simplified.
