A pictorial study of "anxiety" symptoms DR. G E R H A R D KOHLER
W h a t distinguishes the present-day literature as well as our conferences and study courses is t h a t classical Itomceopathy as compared with the critical natural scientific trend is experiencing a renaissance. In passing I would like to ask: Is the expression "classical" Homceopathy necessary? Homceopathy is and remains after all the work of Hahnemann, and there can therefore be only o n e Homceopathy for us which is neither classical, nor natural scientific and critical. W h a t is the position in general medicine? The followers of the somatic trend, advocating an experimental medicine based on pathology and anatomy, still dominate large sections of the medical faculties at the universities. The opposite trend, from Freud's psychoanalysis to the more recent work of J0res, observes practically only the psychological aspects of the causal chain of pathogenesis. I t appears necessary that, faced with these two widely separated poles of psyche and soma, the unifying third element of an integral medicine had to be proclaimed. But was it really necessary? I f one had indeed studied the history of medicine, from the ancient cultures of China, through Hippocrates, and down to Hahnemann, one would have learned that the reality of the sick human being is only one psycho-somatic whole. Body and soul are reflections which register themselves in time as phenomena of the life force at work behind them. There is in fact no separation of body and soul. As a whole the two make up the integral h u m a n being. I t is quite obvious to us, for instance, t h a t the total picture of a poison includes both physical and mental changes. Translated from Deutsche Hom6opathische 2/ionatsschrift, l l , 7, p. 318 ft. and published with the kind permission of the Hippokrates Verlag G.M.B.H., Stuttgart. Translator's Note: The German word "Angst" has been variously translated as fear, anxiety, terror, dread, as seemed best to accord with the meaning R e p r i n t e d from The British Homceopathic Journal, 50, I 11-117. April 1961.
