REVIEWS

'' Sarah! Thank you so much for the mention, and I will double down here on my praise for this book.
I mentioned it to colleagues in my homeopathy mastermind, and we all got a copy so that we could work through the cases together. What a fantastic exercise. It is one of our favorite ways to learn together, as it provokes discussion and deeper understanding of both the art of repertorization, and the materia medica!
Thank you so much for sharing your work in the world. ''

​This compendium, by my New Zealand colleague
Sarah Penrose who regularly shares her clinical
wisdom via her excellent Substack Evidence Based
Homeopathy?, is going to be a useful tool for both the
novice clinician and student homeopath needing to
refine their skills. These 100 cases are from Sarah’s
clinic files so represent a varied expression of real-life
scenarios resulting in the dispensing of a wide variety
of homeopathic medicines. With so many needing to
learn our unique Art via an online situation rather
than a real face to face class time experience, this book
will prove to be a valuable tool for building
confidence in remedy selection.

​As students of classical homeopathy in the 1990s, our only opportunity to hone our repertorisation skills were the case studies provided by our teachers. No sooner had we earned our degree, that invaluable source, which had nurtured us through the years of training, dried up. We were left to ‘sink or swim’ on our own, like many generations of novice homeopaths before us.
With One Hundred Practice Cases for Homeopaths, Sarah Penrose, practitioner, researcher and author in the field of classical Homeopathy is gifting the homeopathic community a precious workbook to fill a glaring gap. Covering a diverse range of cases, this volume offers indispensable training materials to promote fluency in the language of repertorization, and develop the art and craft of choosing the similimum. This book is dedicated to contemporary homeopaths on their way to becoming confident and proficient prescribers.

In this little book, Sarah has collected cases for us to
practice one of the critical skills of the homeopath:
translating the situation in front of us into the
language of homeopathy — rubrics. The cases are
elegantly summarized, giving us insight into key
questions to ask when taking a case. The rubrics she
chooses allow us to hone our own repertorization
skills and deepen our understanding of a range of
remedies. Overall, an invaluable tool for learning
homeopathy! Chelsea Smock

​One Hundred Practice Cases for Homeopaths is evidently
a book on homeopathic therapeutics, a variety of
cases with varied signs and symptoms are presented
in a pleasing style aiming at the requirements of the
students, laymen, and practitioners of homeopathy.
The description of individual cases and the insistence
on finding the correct rubric to arrive to a single
remedy is not only evidence of understanding the
principles of homeopathy, but also displays that Sarah,
our homeopath, is equipped with the yield of
extensive study for decades and experience dearly
earned through toil and tenacity of purpose. The
author's mission to practice classical homeopathy
keeps the hope alive for many upcoming homeopaths
and is an inspiration to many fellow practitioners. My
best wishes towards documenting her great service to
homeopathy and homeopaths.

​This book is a compilation of real-world cases that
benefited from classical homeopathy. I personally
learnt quite a few new rubrics and indicated remedies
in them, even after 22 years of practice. Sarah Penrose
has presented the patient notes succinctly, distilling
the essence of case taking to important points. She
clarifies in the beginning that this is not to be an
exercise in case taking and that not all cases here were
‘cured’ with the single remedies as presented here.
This is important to note. The idea is to identify the
totality and learn how to find rubrics from
description by patients. I know from personal
experience that one of the main challenges for a
beginner is translating patient language to rubrics.
This book is an excellent guide in this direction. I
hope homeopaths will make full use of this book and
wish you all a great learning experience.

In this book, there are several aspects I truly admire. Firstly, the concise summaries of the stories serve as a helpful guide to understanding the key points when a patient shares their experience. Each story is distilled to its essential elements, making it didactic. Secondly, the consistent selection of repertory symptoms demonstrates how to approach finding a remedy systematically (through anamnesis, analysis, and repertorization) with precision. I am confident that this work will resonate with anyone interested in exploring the benefits of homeopathy.
