Dr. Joseph Kellerstein with his over 30 years of clinical experience in interviewing the patients will teach you the art of case taking given in Organon and his unique approach to case taking.

Dr. Kellerstein incorporates his extensive knowledge of Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), which utilizes the power of perception – the information that is received through your senses – as well as the language of the patient, and utilizes these to help form the gestalt of the case. It is a natural and perfect fit for homeopathic case taking.

Dr. Kellerstein begins by referring to Hahnemann’s own words – especially §§84-98 – and demonstrates his own unique technique to help the patient reveal highly useable symptoms, including developing a “hit list” noting the intensity of each symptom, “looping back” increasing the specificity of each question, and how to be on alert for connections, metaphors, and further clues.

He then discusses NLP and what it can do for your case taking skills. What are the key NLP questions that you should be asking your patients?

• 4 Quadrants of case-taking

• Explanation of Aphorism 133 & 86
