Lac Remedies in Practice — PHILLIP BAILEY, MD [#BAILAC]

Description Dr. Philip Bailey is an Australian medical doctor and homeopath who is widely loved and appreciated for his first book, Homeopathic Psychology. Philip Bailey uses his wealth of clinical experience working with Lac remedies to flesh out fully rounded pictures of 8 milk remedies. Each chapter is based on personal experience using the remedy and includes many original observations. With the help of this knowledge, homeopaths can deepen their understanding of Lac remedies beyond rubrics and stereotypes, to the complexities of real people. The breadth of Bailey’s clinical descriptions is matched by their depth. The essence of each remedy picture is fully explored in the book and studied from numerous angles. The result is the kind of rich and nuanced materia medica that is easy to relate to and easy to apply in clinical practice. Each chapter is accompanied by case histories, expressed in the actual words of the patients, enabling a thorough examination of how each remedy’s themes and essence are expressed verbally. Bailey paints a rich psychological picture of the main themes in Lac cases, from early dynamics of inadequate bonding to mother, through victim-consciousness to compensatory spiritual idealism, whilst emphasising the split in every Lac case between the worldly and the spiritual, and the ambivalence which results from this split. The book is fully indexed. ‘Some of the most valuable insights into various homeopathic medicines come from their use in actual practice. In ‘Lac Remedies in Practice’ Philip Bailey generously shares his clinical experience with remedies made from milk and how they can help patients who have suffered their entire lives due to lack of appropriate bonding with the mother.’ — Jane T. Cicchetti – author of Dreams, Symbols, and Homeopathy, Archetypal Dimensions of Healing.   TABLE OF CONTENTS 28-59 Lac felinum Ambivalence 61 Freedom and Dependency 63 Anti-Authority 65 Fear and Delusions 67 Feminist 66 Throat Chakra 70 Addictions 71 Sensuality 71 Cats 72 The Tomcat 72 Differential Diagnosis 74 Physical Complaints 77 Case 1 78 Analysis 80 Case 2 82 60-87 Lac equis Blocked 89 Breaking Free 95 Depression and Mania 97 Assertive 99 Differential Diagnosis 100 Case 1 103 Analysis and treatment 104 Analysis 109 88-133 Lac equis – mind 111 Case 2 115 Comment 122 Case 3 128 Comment 130 Lac caninum Worthlessness 135 Out of Control 139 Abuse 144 Denial 146 Grief 147 The Male 147 Case 1 150 Analysis 152 Repertorisation 153 Case Analysis 156 134-157 Lac defloratum Passivity 159 Nebulous 161 Self-esteem 162 Suppressed rage 163 Co-dependency 165 Fear of annihilation, of being trapped 166 Don’t trust the Feminine 167 Case Analysis 170 158-173 Lac leoninum Dignity and Pride 175 Calm, Responsible and Controlled 177 174-198 Near Death Experiences 178 Africa 180 Trouble with Men 180 Summary 184 Case Analysis 189 Lac leoninum Case 2 192 Analysis 195 rubrics in this case 192 Lac delphinum Fear 201 Relationships and Sexuality 202 Heart-centred and Dreamy 203 Play, Escape and Magical Thinking 204 Depression 205 Case 1 206 Analysis 207 Case 2 209 Analysis 211 200-114 Lac lupinum The Outsider 217 Trouble with Women 219 The Opportunist 219 The Thrill-Seeker 220 Avoidance 221 Trouble with Money 224 Death and other Inconveniences 225 Case 226 Analysis 227 Index 23 216-213 Introduction – Lac themes The Missing Foundation 12 Ambivalence 13 Paradise Lost 15 Alone and Co-dependent 16 Mother-Child 17 Where is the Man? 19 Victim-Consciousness 21 Unsupported 22 Community Awareness and Advocacy 22 Rebel with a Cause 23 Push and Pull 25 Boundaries 25 Case 1 49 Analysis 51 Case Analysis 56
