Constitutional treatment by the Kent method is quite often not successful where severe
diseases are involved. In such cases, it is better, when looking for a homoeopathic
remedy, to go by the pathology of the disease and its accompanying symptoms. A detailed
list of the other situations is provided —apart from severe pathologies—where what
is called clinical prescription is beneficial. As a homoeopath, one has to have two
tool kits: one for constitutional prescription and one for clinical prescription.
The numerous differences between the two methods with regards to choice of remedy
and potency, the repetition of the remedy and case management are illustrated in a
table.
