Repertorial Analysis and Evaluation

Details

This book comprises the various possible theoretical questions from Dr. Kent's and Dr. Boenninghausen's Repertories and it is systematically arranged in a question-answer format.

Also, the history and development of Repertory, the process of repertorisation and the evaluation of symptoms has been thoroughly enumerated, since without a proper evaluation the right remedy can never be selected.
