The Introduction into Practice Diploma Course is ideal if you wish to take the Foundation studies to the next level. The course looks at some of the deeper philosophical aspects of homeopathy and further investigates case taking in preparation for practise under supervision.

During this part of the course we focus upon casework, introducing you to both the theory and practical applications of two systems for interpreting imbalance and diseases: Hahnemann’s theory of miasms and a system based upon constitutions and temperaments, the Mappa Mundi. The theory of miasms is developed in Misha Norland’s book, ‘Signatures, Miasms, AIDS’ while lectures and audio tracks on CD extend this into the analysis of patients' cases to complement the classical methodology outlined in our Foundation Course. The distinctive approach of the School of Homeopathy is made evident through the application of the Mappa Mundi as well as the remedy signature teachings – these concepts are partly responsible for our uniqueness, alongside the nurturing tutoring and the academic rigour. It is often commented that many of our students find a spiritual connection to the work and to healing, and of course, we are delighted to be associated with this.

Book List Two complements this course. Alongside the Introduction into Practice Diploma Course, if you wish to go onto the Practitioner Advanced Diploma Course, you will also be required to start Alternative Training’s Pathology & Disease Course unless you already have equivalent training.

Introduction into Practice Diploma Course topics include:
Beginning in-depth analysis of chronic cases; anamnesis; prognosis; the evolving theory of Miasms and its practical interpretation; the matching of potency to the patient; reviewing plans and strategies for case analysis; evaluating the effects of suppression and other blockages in any given case; evaluating the response to treatment and when to give a second prescription; reviewing the Organon; reviewing Kent’s philosophy; introducing the Mappa Mundi and beginning to apply it to casework and remedy synthesis.

"Thank you for giving me a life changing, beautiful experience. As I talk to more and more people (graduates and current students of other colleges), I realise what a wonderful experience the School of Homeopathy was. I talk to so many who are angry and dissatisfied with their colleges. And I tell them how much I loved mine! I tell them how it was more than a college, how it changed and nurtured me in ways that are sometimes difficult to describe. Not only did I receive the best homeopathic education, one that is actually world renowned, but I received something that changed my life in the best way possible. One of the best things was how you gently fostered a group spirit among us – even when some of us (like me) resisted that approach. I remember in the early years saying to someone, 'I’m only here to learn homeopathy!' Boy, was I wrong! I was here to learn much more – about life and love…. Well you know!"
Sue, 2001
