Homeopathy is a medical art that is remarkably well suited for adjunctive use with depth psychotherapy. Homeopathic remedies can penetrate into the psyche and catalyze change on the level of the psychoid, affecting mind, body, and spirit, with a capacity to gently promote deep healing that is categorically different from what we can expect from conventional psychotropic medications.
The notion of the psychoid is one of Jung’s innumerable contributions to our understanding of human experience. The domain of the psychoid is the imponderable dimension of our experience where material and non- material reality, matter and spirit, interpenetrate and intertwine, where the archetypes reside, from which the complexes arise, and where the sequelae of trauma are woven into our psyches to lodge and persist. It is on this level of the organism that changes must occur for deep healing to unfold, and it is on this level that homeopathic remedies effect transformation in the organism.
Homeopathy’s fundamental philosophy is deeply resonant with and supportive of core Jungian ideas, including the appreciation for the nonmaterial reality of the psyche; the deep interconnectedness among mind, body, and spirit; symbolic dimensions of experience; and the fundamental potential for wholeness within the individual. Homeopathy strongly and gently supports the inner process of change on which our patients embark in psychotherapy, as well having the capacity to bring genuine healing to deep and severe suffering and symptoms. Prescriptions are made based on a nuanced understanding of the totality of a person’s experience, rather than considering individuals as an array of symptoms....
Have others come across this other great book – Dreams symbols and homeopathy: the archetypal dimensions to healing, by Jane Cicchetti?
