Abstract
From ancient times, the principal medical cultures tried to classify individuals according
to their morpho-functional characteristics in order to study and understand their
tendencies in terms of health and sickness. In the last two centuries, in Europe and
America, a number of academic schools emerged whose theoretical concepts and ideas
were important theroretically but had relatively little practical application. By
contrast, in France and Italy, there was the joining of biotypological schools and
homoeopathy, which permitted the correlation between biotypes and their relevant homoeopathic
remedies. This article outlines the evolution of biotypological thinking and the results
of the above said merger.
