A perfect guide for students and practitioners that is well written and filled with relevant advices on how to improve case-taking skills. The Homeopathic Conversation is a must-read for practitioners, teachers, students, patients and anyone else with a serious interest in homeopathy. “It probably takes the better part of a lifetime to master the art of the homeopathic conversation. But there are some things in life that are worth waiting for.

In this personal and passionately argued book, Dr Kaplan traces his journey away from the mechanistic world of conventional medicine towards the empathetic, person-centred philosophy of homeopathy. He explains the unique approach of this increasingly respected alternative medicine, explores the ideas and philosophies of its pioneers, and provides reasoned advice, based on more than two decades of committed practice and study, on how to fulfil its huge potential as a healing art. “Dr Brian Kaplan is a passionate teacher who builds on his insights from his clinical work and courageously and entertainingly shares his journey with all who listen.” Dr David Owen, former president, Faculty of Homeopathy.
