Hello Shirley,

What do you mean by ...."In my own work, I use the Kentian approach and if I am not making progress, I will look at more pathological symptoms,..."

Kent used pathological symptoms all the time. His case examples and lectures are full of pathological symptoms. He only based cases on M/E symptoms when they were, in his view, characteristics, and only if and when they were present in the case. Most of his cases were based on strong physical characteristic symptoms. Look at the examples given in his Lesser Writings. Over 3/4 are based on physical generals.
I feel you are misrepresenting the 'Kentian approach' by making statements like that.
