Hahnemann Revisited: A Textbook of Classical Homeopathy for the Professional by Luc De Schepper, M.D., PH. D., C. HOM., D. I. HOM., LIC. AC.

The author begins with the foundations of homeopathic philosophy and an interpretation of the Organon, explaining how to understand concepts such as the vital force, disease, individualization, and the law of similars. He then moves on to practical aspects: case analysis, hierarchy of symptoms, remedy selection, and the principles of case management.

An important part of the book is devoted to dosage and potency, including Hahnemann’s later-developed LM method, along with guidelines for its use in both acute and chronic conditions. The author also explains how to interpret patient responses to the remedy and how to make decisions regarding repetition of the dose or changing the remedy.

Subsequent chapters address chronic diseases and the concept of miasms – their significance, recognition, and influence on the course of treatment. The book is structured as a coherent progression from theoretical foundations to concrete clinical decisions.

It is intended for students of homeopathy as well as practitioners who wish to organize their knowledge and work in accordance with Hahnemann’s classical principles.
