WORKSHOP IN APPLIED HOMOEOPATHY

FOR FOREIGN DELEGATES



SPANDAN focuses on application of vibrant & holistic Homeopathy in its clinical services.

Focus of the course is to build up sound conceptual base in Homeopathic physician through experiential learning.



Foundation has established holistic multidisciplinary clinical projects, which give first hand experience to the students to perceive various dimensions of sickness from multiple perspectives & participate actively in its holistic homeopathic management.



OBJECTIVES:

Objectives of the course can be broadly divided into following categories.

1. Building up sound conceptual matrix with advance knowledge base.
2. Acquiring skills & fineness required for efficient homeopathic practice.
3. Building up humane aspects in Homeopathic physician.
4. Evolving required competencies in the physician to deal with the basic demands of homeopathic practice.
5. Cultivating aptitude for advance learning, homeopathic research, followship, academics & teaching.



UNITS: (Conceptual)

1. Clinical Module
2. Case Anamnesis Module
3. Materia Medica Module
4. Orientation to conceptualization.

UNITS: (FUNCTIONAL)

1. Case taking:

Student will get an opportunity to have direct interactions with the patient. Of course, his case taking will be supervised by senior faculty members & will be given feedback & insight about case taking.



Homeopathic case taking demands emotional, educational & spiritual preparation of the interviewer, finer analysis of case taking brings out conceptual base of patient as well as physician on which they are talking. As Hahnemann rightly mentions in aphorism 6 – Unprejudiced observer can alone perceive the right totality. Systematic handling of the interview can facilitate physician’s journey towards discovery of his own prejudices.



Understanding of inadequacies of case taking will highlight physician’s strength & weaknesses of his specific & general knowledge.



Clinical exposure to Acute & chronic case follow ups. Candidate will have ample opportunity to see various acute cases like infective illness, respiratory, gastrointestinal etc. There will be interactive session to learn approach to acute disease.



2. Clinical module will focus on importance of clinical diagnosis & homeopathic prescribing. How to evolve clinical reasoning through:

· Comprehensive evolutionary study of complaints

· Physical examination

· Investigations- Pathological, Radiological, CT scan, MRI etc.



3. Perceiving totality through various approaches:

a) Qualified symptoms-PQRS, key Note prescribing

b) Perceiving characteristic state of disposition aphorism 211.How to translate it in the language of Materia Medica & Repertory

c) Revising & reflecting on Master’s teachings- Kent, Bonneinghaussen, Boger, Clarke, Phatak etc.



4. Perceiving Mind-

a) Breaking myths & misconceptions to perceive the essentials of mind.

b) Abstractions v/s characteristics to perceive the qualified aspect of the mind.

c) Utilizing scientific instruments to perceive the depth of mind- systematic study of concept of Psychodynamic, psychosomatic correlations etc.

d) Dreams- the mirror of the mind. Scientific interpretation of the dreams.



Objective would be to perceive holistic integrated understanding of the mind.



5. The Chronic Miasms- Concepts & applications



There will be sound clinico-imuno pathological correlations with the theory of chronic diseases. Illustrative cases will demonstrate applications of concepts in practice.



6. Materia Medica

Kent has rightly mentioned that there is no royal road to the study of materia medica. Effective materia medica – at bedside can be skillfully evolved by repertory.

Correlating with authentic sources of materia medica commentaries of our Masters & finally relating it to the critically analyzed clinical experiences.

This builds up APPLIED MATERIA MEDICA ready to be used in practice at any moment.



During workshop, through various clinical cases there will be discussion on differential world of Materia Medica. Attempt will be made to evolve the portrait with finer shades.

7. Susceptibility & Posology:

We need to utilize one integrated understanding of Miasm, totality etc. to judge precisely the state of susceptibility. Spandan has evolved multidimensional model to judge the state of susceptibility based on appreciation of reactivity, immunity/ morbidity, sensitivity & vitality.

Each case will be studied to grasp all these aspects of susceptibility

8. Management:

Holistic approach will demand comprehensive Management of all the factors including its exciting as well as maintaining causes. For this wherever necessary, Psychotherapy, ancillary measures, diet & regimen instructions are quite important.

Thanks for the info.

Is the fee not too high?

I suppose it depends on what type and quality of living quarters (hygeinic) and food (Continental/American) you would like to have for TWO WEEKS of stay in Mumbai.

I am SURE the fee would differ based on that. Why don't you email dr. Barvalia and find out how much the workshop fees cost? Meanhile he would advice you about the accomodation and food?

Thank you

Could you please contact yourself and request him to make further concession for Pakistani (your request would be more weightage then mine) ;) so that I could send that info to all Pakistani Homeopaths. I know they are unable to afford high cost seminars / workshops.

does dr bravalia conduct worshops for indians?

what are the costs (if one makes his own arrangement for accomodation / food etc.)

is there a weblink where schedule workshops (for indians) can be found?

is dr barvalia a part of the predictive homeopathy (dr prafull vijayakar) team?

HI Dr. Amir,
I think you should contact him himself - write him an email directly. Tell him I suggested you do so, that would quite adequate. Then he can respond to you directly. He is a simple man.
PAkistan would probably be included in local/Indian workshops.
All the best,
dr. leela

Most probably he does. Once can even join his team and help for a period of time (6 months to a year). You could email him and find out about those details. He is also the Editor of the Indian Journal of Homeopathic MEdicine (IJHM). YOu could suscribe for the journal - all announcements would be made there. I will be writing a review for that in the March issue of the hpathy Ezine.

I would be much less.

Try this:
E MAIL- spandan@holisticfoundation.org
praful_barvalia@vsnl.com
website : www.holisticfoundation.org

NO, Dr. BArvalia was part of the ICR (Insitutite of Clinical research) team of Dr. Kumar Dhawle. But now he has branched off on his own with Spandan and the MB BArvalia foundation focusing on Issues that I have detailed in the interview.

Thanks for your interest,

Bumping this up for those interested - though there's just a few days left.

The next Workshop is scheduled to be in August 2006. People interested for future workshops could email him and make contact so he would be able to directly inform them when those plans are confirmed.

It appears to be 14 days of HARD WORK, but I'm sure it will be well worth it.
