Philip M. Bailey (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1995

This is a most interesting book that combines psychology with homeopathy. Philip Bailey describes in depth the personality profiles of some 35 polychrests. The last pages of the book cover a mix of psychological astrology and homeopathy when he explores the elements and some polychrests. Bailey provides detailed information on 35 major types, giving insight on diagnosis, mental and emotional traits, and physical characteristics. His broad profiles of major constitutional remedies give the reader a good overall picture of the personality type and therefore ways of remembering facts about the archetype, by having a unifying theory for each remedy.

This review is from: Homeopathic Psychology: Personality Profiles of the Major Constitutional Remedies (Paperback)

Because my husband is a Homeopath, I came across this book and couldn't put it down. It really shows the different constitutional types, in the thinking and feeling processes. It's farely easy to find your own through reading the book, and shows how much of how we act in in our typing. I really enjoyed this information, and shared it with friends who also found great value in it. In the book "The Complete Guide to Homeopathy", there is a good test for quickly finding out your consitutional type also. Its a good combination book to go with this book. Thanks :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars In-depth, esoteric look at homeopathic consitutional types.., April 30, 2000

This review is from: Homeopathic Psychology: Personality Profiles of the Major Constitutional Remedies (Paperback)

This book is primarily intended for the trained homeopath, not the layperson. It is an in-depth look at the more common homeopathic constitutional types. That being said, it's a fabulous book, filled with excellent information that the author gleaned from years of work as a homepath.

Bailey provides detailed information on 35 major types, giving insight on diagnosis, mental and emotional traits, and physical characteristics. This book should really only be used by a trained and certified homeopath, but it does provide fascinating reading for us laypersons. Great book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Useful and Informative!, October 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Homeopathic Psychology: Personality Profiles of the Major Constitutional Remedies (Paperback)

As a patient of a classical homeopath, I've found this book to be invaluable. As I move through the different constitional remedies in my healing process, I refer to the book often for a greater understanding of my process and the complexity of this type of healing. A must have for homeopathic patients!
