INTRODUCTION
- The homeopathic literature has grown with hundreds of repertories and books.
- Homeopathic software provides instant access to precise case analysis and thousands of references, anywhere, anytime.
HISTORY
- The logical step from card repertories was finally realized in the 1980s with the development of personal computers. Card Repertories are forerunner of the computer repertories. There were, and are, a number of Homoeopathic software programs on the market, some perhaps not so highly developed, but used by many. But, within a few years of each other in the mid-eighties, 3 new Homoeopathic software programs arrived to gain prominence in the U.S. and Europe.
- ‘CARA‘, by David Witko of Miccant in the U.K., which has now evolved to his new programme
- ‘Isis Vision‘; ‘Radar’, by Frederick Schroyens of Belgiums’s Archibel
- ‘Mac Repertory‘, by [the late] David Warkentin of Kent Homoeopathic Associates in the U.S.A. [now known as Synergy and owned by Raja Sankaran in India]
- Three new repertories evolved out of these main Homoeopathic software programs by making additions to or building on the already-incorporated Kent’s Repertory.
These were:
- ‘Synthesis Repertory‘ within the Radar programme
- ‘Complete Repertory’. edited by Roger van Zandvoort in the Mac Repertory programme
- ‘Combined Repertory within CARA and ISIS VISON
- These Kentian-derived modern computer repertories have come full circle in their separate ways to try to integrate Boenninghausen rubrics with Kentian ones to give us, as practitioners, the best of both worlds – the ability to combine in our work the flexibility of the analogical approach with the precision of those of the literal camp.
