Foreword:

Whatever words we use to describe our patients should be chosen with great care as they only will guide us to the remedy needed by the patient. These words have to form the rubrics of our repertories and materia medicas to be of any practical use to us. Often, we are not able to achieve this. This may be because the rubrics available in our books are not understood at all or misunderstood. What we do not know then remains in the dark alley restricting the best use of our tools.

This book is a collection of simple, straightforward meanings of the rubrics of mind section collected from various repertories. The sincere efforts of this young homoeopath will help us to understand the true meaning of the words forming the rubrics. He has not given any explanations thus restricting any deviation from the real meaning of the words thereby keeping the contents clear and concise. l hope that this book helps students and practitioners of Homeopathy understand our remedies and the repertories better.
