Abrotanum – an emaciated newborn suffers from the mother's wounds.
The author describes in detail her well-founded experience with traumatised patients and the helpful cooperation between therapy and homeopathy. Her case study makes the problem of re-traumatisation clear. The homeopathic support of the patient, who, following a difficult birth, was thrust back into dreadful experiences from her past, helps her and her likewise traumatised and initially very weak baby to embark on a healing developmental path.
