Paul Herscu did a seminar in Australia a little while back, and he unfortunately came across very muddled and unclear. It was difficult to understand what he was talking about, and he kept going over very simple homoeopathic philosophy which seemed to have nothing to do with this method. Many people were disgruntled and disappointed by this - it was hard to feel we had learned anything at all. His books are much clearer, so perhaps he is not such a good public speaker.

The feeling that some of us got was that he was not saying anything new - he was just talking about organising the symptoms in such a way as to make repertorising clearer. The segments and cycles which seemed so clear to him, sounded very complicated to us. The idea of finding themes to cover the largest part of the case is very basic to successful prescribing - many of us had already discovered this. Perhaps for people learning the art, it may be more useful.
