Would make sense as I though the name began with P (I could have the Bath thing wrong completely). Do you talk to her offline? If so could you point her here Thank you!

oh hi, sorry missed this, am very dozy (oh and thanks jofeb04). Just floundering around thinking of things to do, have studied a little bit of homeopathy before and wondering whether to pick it up properly, not this year, next. How are you both finding it? If I did it I'd like to specialise in children/adults with SN but not sure how realistic that would be. If I did it I would have to do an attendance course- or at least a course with deadlines, tried distance learning before and am not strict enough with myself. Just wanted to bounce around pros/cons really.

Ooooh! I'll be watching this. I've been thinking about studying homeopathy.

It's quite a long road until you're qualified though isn't it? I'd have to do evening classes and would probably have to start next September.

Well I deffered it for a year after the first 3 months, but am now back on it and just finished my first proper essay.
I'm with the LSCH - distance learning for first year and then one weekend a month for 3 years. There really isn't any way to speialise in the course - I think that would come after you were qualified.
the structure is good - 10 modules, split into 4 topics, which means you know you have to do one unit a week to keep up.

Actually Jimjams I could have done with you last week - I was suffering a bit of a crisis of belief in reconciling the whole concept of the Vital Force as an intangible, spirit like "life-energy", with my atheistic, mechanistic, need to know how everything works kind of brain.

yes- I struggle with that too prufrock- that's the other thing- when I give a rememdy and it does something dramatic I'm always completely surprised. I kind of feel I would have to get over that!

Most courses are one weekend a month for 10 or 11 months spidermamma (with work to do inbetween)

So much of the original writing on homeopathy is so bound up in teh terminolgy of the time it was written - hence the reliance on "spirit" and "vibrations" I ended up compromising on teh Vital Force being an "as yet unexplained product of the complex reaction between the various sytems in the body2 or something like that. I jsut hate that so many homeopaths seem happy to say, well it just works. I want to know WHY.

I love the repertory work though, and am suprisd at how well I am coping with the medical sciences stuff with nothing but GCSE Biology to help.

I would think that with your huge knowledge of SN, and your obvious empathy iwth the parents, you could be very succesful Jimjams. and if nothing else, I'm finding it extremely helpful to have something to actually think about - I ok the dog for a walk teh other day and was talking arguments through to myself until I had brain ache - but it felt good to be grappling with intellectual stuff again.

Have you read The Field? That's meant to "explain" how homeopathy might work using quantum physics. I have no idea how reliable it is as I don't understand the maths behind the quantum physics so if someone says "the equations say this" I have to accept that at face value.

I think I'll see how this year pans out - am doing part time MSc but have relaised that unless I do another PhD my chances of paid part time research in psych are going to be low- and I'm not sure I want to do another PhD. So just pondering it all. I do like studying it- it is all so different from anything I have done before.

Also ds3 was given Merc recently for skin complaints and it was a bit of a wow reaction which made me think about it again.
