This book (and its subsequent volumes) is extremely well-written, with illustrative examples from real-life cases, historical personages, and from literature. I bought it after it was highly recommended in one of Mr. Ullman's books.
For example, Ms. Coulter writes of Sepia: "Scarlett O'Hara...with her passion for dancing, her pride in independence, her sharp business mind, and her constant striving for self-expression, exhibits much of this face. Characteristic, too, are her admirable loyalty and responsibility toward her family - a long and heavy burden on her; her own type of honesty about herself; and her directness, combined with insensitivity toward others."
Whether or not you agree with the author's choice of comparisons, the analogies are never heavy-handed or forced. Rather, they illuminate the less-known facets of common remedies.
The other remedies listed in the volume are Phosphorus, Calcarea Carbonica, Lycopodium, Sulphur, Pulsatilla, Arsenicum Album, Lachesis, and Natrum Muriaticum.
Highly recommended.

I love this excellent, well-written three volume series on some of the frequently prescribed homeopathic remedies. Catherine Coulter brings in whole new dimensions that I have found highly effective in practice, and that are not found in other sources.
