PSYCHOLOGY & PSYCHICAL RESEARCH IN HOMOEOPATHY

by

To return to our original thesis: The above cases show clearly on the one hand that conflict of sentiments and instincts destroys the cohesion of mind and sow the seeds of mental and nervous breakdown; on the other hand it brings to light another factor of no less importance in destroying an unitary personality, and that is “repression”. Conflict and Repression make an unholy alliance in every human breast before throwing him or her into the fire of hell. Our conscious mind is but a fragment of our whole existence.

Behind the conscious mind there is the great world of the unconscious which is a vast lumbar room of memories forgotten unwillingly or forcibly forced out of unconsciousness of ideas and feelings that we have deliberately thrust out of our consciousness as undesirable elements, lusts, appetites hatreds that have been driven underground as they are found to be incompatible with our ideas of morality, justice and social convention.

But within the unconscious these repressed tendencies are always on the alert to wreak vengeance, for which purpose they assume various false devices for fear of being detected and hence we get the various symptoms; as the paralysis in the first case of Dr. Mac. Dougall, fear of closed space in the case of Dr. Rivers.

It will not suffice merely to give Arnica, Causticum, Sul. in the first case, or Medorrhinum, Thuja, Nat. mur, etc. in the second case; or Argent nit, Sul, Lach or Puls in the third case according to the totality of symptoms; you must drive deep beyond the surface, try to learn the intricate workings of the patients psychology in the light of the above researches and then to find out if “the state of disposition and mind presents any obstacle to the treatment or require to be modified, directed or encouraged” If we have thus equipped ourselves with all the advances in modern science, we will be competent enough to tackle every psychical case and proclaim ourselves as followers of Samuel Hahnemann and learn the true import of his teachings.

It is very difficult to do full justice to my subject within this short paper.
