Kent’s Repertory – a Comprehensive Study

Dr Sanchoo Balachandran

Origin of the Repertory in General 
Need for repertory arises from the very beginning of the introduction of the system. As the years passed, the literatures on materiamedica accumulate beyond the scope human brain, so need for an indexing is highlighted.

The idea of repertory was first brought by Dr Hahnemaan himself, and the first repertory was born in 1805 itself as “Fragmenta de viribus medicamentorum positivis”, the first part contain the symptoms observed and the second part contain the index or the repertory. Hahnemann was the first to make repertory and he was using a repertory for his daily practice. He had four volumes for this reference book consisting of 4239 pages. In 1817 he published a short repertory in Latin, more over in Materia Medica Pura he demonstrated two cases which gives one about his concept. In the preamble of material medica also he wrote about the concept of repertorisation. By around 1829 he arranged Dr Ernest Ferdinand Ruckert to arrange a repertory of the remedies, but was not successful and has remained to its manuscript form, housed now in Haele’s museum in Robert Bosch Hospital, stuttgart, West Germany.

In 1830 –32 Hahnemann compiled a repertory which he could not published because he himself found the work imperfect and his publisher Mr Arnold was not in a position to publish it. 1834-Dr Hahnemann employed Dr.Jahr to complete the second edition of chronic disease and also to lay foundations for a repertory and encyclopedia of symptoms. The repertory was published in 1835, was in German, and consists of two volumes of 1052 and 1254 pages respectively. This was followed by a third repertory on gland bones mucus membrane, ducts and skin diseases in 200 pages. Hahnemann further continued with his ideas on repertory but his later repertories remained and still in manuscript form.

One of the first repertories was by Dr.Harthlaub published in 1828 in Leipzig. Hahnemanns pupil Dr Gross compiled a repertory consisting of two volumes which never appeared in print. In 1830 Weber compiled in German a repertory consisting of 536 pages,”Systematische Darstellung de Antipsoriche Arzneimittal” with a repertory of deterotion and amelioration in health rainging from top to toe of the subject and ending up with sleep and mental symptoms.

Sources Of Kent’s Repertory
By the end of 19th century, even though a lot of repertories where published all of them lack flexibility in one or other aspect. The work of the purist were too rigid and lacked the elasticity of Bonninghausens pocket book, but the latter was found at times leading to ridicules conclusions. Hence the work of Lippe, Lee and Kent were born.

Dr. Kent worked on Dr. Lee’s work; that is, he was preparing a repertory on the basis of Dr Lippe’s manuscript for the second edition of his repertory. Dr Lippe’s repertory in turn developed from the Repertory to the Manuel of Allen-Town Academy and this Repertory was developed out of Boenninghausen’s Repertory of the Anti Psoric Remedies. Kent began where others had left. Kent’s work is only a desirable extension of Boenninghausens’ and is complimentary to it. He has absorbed almost all of Boenninghausen except generalization of locations, concomitants and modalities of particulars. He has particular rized them as Boenninghausen had done in his earlier works. Kent lifted boldly Boenninghausen’s sensations and incorporated in his generalities. Most of the Boenninghausen’s modalities were also included.

Dr.Kent held that repertory was only a compilation at best and all reliable symptoms were the property of homoeopaths . He gathered together all that was in the earlier repertories,symptoms recorded in the fundamental works of the materia medica and added his own notes and notes of other practitioers. He verified the symptoms as far as possible and unverified symptoms were omited and on other hand clinical verifications have given importance, if they are found to be in consistant with the nature of the remedy. Drs. Gladwin , Milton, Powel, Mary Ives and Arthur Allen helped him.
Dr Lee completed the chapters Mind and Head directly, where as chapter’s Eyes and Vision; and Urinary organs,chill, fever, and sweat. by Dr Kent.

Philosophical Back Ground 
Kent’s repertory was based on philosophy of deductive logic that is from generals to particular. Dr, Kent divide the symptoms in there higherarche as General Symptoms, which is dived into Mind and Physical; particular symptoms; Common symptoms. The repertory is constructed in such a way that every case can be worked out from general to particular. The advantage of such a process is that the remedies, which have a particular symptom, may not have a specific modality, which is needed for the case. In that case if, you work out only with a particular sub rubric, you are at the risk of missing out a remedy which may in fact till that point of time may be an unobserved modality of that drug. So it is advisable to work the case with a general rubric and differentiate the remedies on the basis of sub rubric if it is applicable, but one should not bothered much about the presence of the drug selected in the sub rubrics needed. Thus one of the objective of this repertory is to select general group of remedies for the particular case.

Plan and Construction
The plan of the repertory is uniform through out and it is following Generals to particular, and it is arranged so that one can expand its literature as the years and experience accumulates.
Chapters consists of location or Function are arranged on the basis of Hahnemann order that is to start with Mind, followed by Vertigo, head etc and to the last Generalities. All together there are 37 chapters.
Each chapter consists of related Rubrics which represents the symptoms, not the locations or organs generally, When pathological rubrics are given, it contain only leading drugs for the condition refereed. They are arranged from generals to particulars, in the alphabetical order.

Rubrics are of two types
1. Main or general Rubrics
2. Sub Rubrics.
Main rubrics consist of all the respective drugs (that are the drugs, which covers that particular symptom in general), irrespective of the modifying factors. And they are arranged in the alphabetical order. Cross referanse are also given along appropriate rubrics so that one can look into the related rubrics.
Sub Rubrics are related to the modifying factors of the respective Main rubric and arranged in a particular manner introduced by Dr.Jahr. As
1. Side. ( right then left)
2. Time.
1. Circumstances. Arranged in the order ailments from, alternating with and factors aggravating and amelurating.
2. Extension.(given under the point from which a certain symptoms extends, never under the the point to which extents.)
3. Sub locations.
The above said is again repeated.
Cross-reference is given whenever it was thought to be needed, and one can add further.
Drugs are represented by abbrevesions, as introduced by Dr. Hahnemaan. In total there are 648 drugs.
The drugs are of three Gradings.  
Well proved, clinically verified drugs – Represented in Bold, those symptoms produced by majority of provers and frequently verified.
1. Occasionally proved drugs – Represented in italics produced by few provers and occasionally verifed
2. Only in small group of provers – Represented in roman
The grading of the drugs will help in easy and fast repertorisation with out compromising results.

How to Work out A Case with Kent’s Repertory 
In his preface to the repertory Dr.Kent emphasis that after taking the case following the guide lines laid down by Dr. Hahnemann in his Organon of Medicine aphorisms 83 to 140, one should write all the mental symptoms and all the conditions predicted of the patient himself and search the repertory for the symptoms corresponding to those. Then search for such physical symptoms as are predicted of the blood, color of discharge, and bodily aggravations, and amelioration that include the whole being, then desires like open air etc, then individualize still further using the symptoms predicted for the organs, functions and sensations, always give an prime importance to the time of occurrence, Then examine the symptom pricture collectively and individually. And lastly go to the materia medica for further clarification of the remedies. So essentially it consists of the following steps.
1. Case taking
2. Evaluation or grading of symptoms
We should treat the patient as a whole. The symptoms are breaked into
a) Mental Generals. Among them the higher arche followed is
1. Love hates
2. Intellect
3. Memory.
b) Physical generals, here the importance is given in the following order
1. Related to blood, color of discharge, Aversions and Cravings
2. Menstrual functions (general aggravations related to menses, the character of menses)
3. Environmental factors

c) Particular symptoms, here the higher arche followed is
1. Peculiar or unusual symptoms
2. Discharges
3. Modalities

d) Common symptoms—they become important when they are absent or when intensified_
3. Conversion of symptoms to rubrics.
4. Erecting the reportorial totality.
5. Repertorisation proper. One can adopt repertorisation in two ways
1. Addition method
3. Elimination method
6. Analysis and prescription.

MIND
Introduction:
This particular chapter contains rubrics related to constitution, psychopathological conditions, memory and modalities (e.g., closing eyes, conversation etc.)
Rubrics related to the speech is dived into the chapters Mind – Mouth _ Larynx. This division can be easily understood as when the quality of the speech is altered ( symptoms of the higher center involvement ) you should look into chapter mind, when the motor functions are involved you should look into the chapter Mouth, when the quality of the voice is altered one should look into the chapter Larynx.

Generalities
Introduction
In order to help the beginners, so that they get birds eye view over this particular chapter we have classified the symptoms into: –
1) Intrinsic symptoms– those symptoms that are related to the man himself, e.g.- pathophysiology related to different structures in general like brittle bones, inflammation of the muscle, different sensations, age, etc.
2) Extrinsic symptoms– those symptoms related to the environment. E.g.- time, weather, food, etc.

Intrinsic symptoms are further classified into, symptoms related to
1.Age- nursing children, old people, puberty, menopause, etc.
2.Constitution- dwarfish, emaciated, obese, slender, stoop shouldered, psychosis, syphilis etc.
3.Tissues- bones cares, nonunion, slow union, softening; cartilage’s inflammation, sensitive swelling; muscles shortening, indurations, lifting; tendons injuries; serous membrane inflammation; lymph glands fistula, swelling, ulcers, pain; nerves inflammation, injuries; blood congestion, orgasm; blood Vessels inflammation, pulse, distention etc.
4.Sensations – flabby feeling, hard bed sensation, heaviness, pain, plug sensation, etc.
5. (Intrinsic) Ailments from: and Modalities- gonorrhea suppressed measles after, unionism after, vaccination after, etc. < – Coition, menses before, perspiration, etc. > – Change position, constipation, hand laying on part, chill feels better before, magnetism, perspiration gives no relief, etc.
6.Clinical conditions. -Anemia, cancer affections, cyanosis, fistula, inflamation.etc.
7.Character of the symptom- contradictory and alternating states, pain appears gradually and disappears gradually, side symptoms on one side, alternating symptoms, metastasis, etc.
8.Reaction of the body — is further divided into
a) Exaggerated- anxiety physical, irritability, mucus secretion increased sensitiveness.
b) Inhibited- Irritability lack of, reaction lack of, sluggishness of body,
c) Altered-lassitude, lie down inclination, plethora, weakness, weariness, etc.

Extrinsic symptoms are further classified into, symptoms related to
1.Time- daytime, morning, evening, twilight, sunrise to sunset, etc.
2.Environment. Weather (wet, summer, winter, etc.), sun, moon light, air draft of, foggy, high places, storm, etc.
3.Food -break fast, eating, fasting, hunger, starving, etc.
4.Toxins. -Arsenical, china, coals, led, etc.
5.Extrinsic- ailments from, and modalities- A.F-reveling, shocks from injury, < – assenting, crowed room, exertion, jar, lying, noise, playing piano, riding, uncleanness, uncovering, etc. > -Magnetism, rubbing, warm bed, warm stove, exertion, bathing face, etc.

An attempt to give logical direction in selecting the corresponding chapters for those symptoms has both the components of mind and physic.
For this we have gone though all the symptoms in the mind chapter having a physical component and all the symptoms in the chapter Generalities having a psychological component and analyzed, and we came to a conclusion that – we should look into the chapter mind if that particular symptoms has a ‘predominate psychological component’, and if it has a ‘predominate physical component’ you should look into chapter generalities.

How to determine which component is the predominate one- If the physical component is an extrinsic factor (e.g.- environmental factors, food, clothing, etc.) one should consider it as a predominate component, and should search in chapter Generalities.
E.g.- air desire for, food desire for, bathing dread of, clothing intolerance of, etc.

If it is a physical activity due to psychological cause one should give importance for the cause rather than the expression, so you should look into the chapter Mind e.g. – rapid walking due to anxiety, gestures, antics play’s. etc.

2. Correction of misplaced rubrics.

Criticism of the Repertory.
1. In some parts the rubrics are generalized (chapter mind) where as in some o there parts the rubrics over particularized (chapter Extremities).
2. Similar rubrics, with different remedies and with different evaluation are given in many chapters. This pose difficulties in working out a case, because the chances of missing out remedy is great. Example – “Liquids taken are forced into nose” (page 454) also under the chapter Nose “Liquids comes out through the nose on attempting to swallow”.
3. Certain organs are given separate rubrics with out any modifying rubrics; this is in general against the philosophy and construction of the repertory.eg liver and region of, spleen etc.
4. In certain rubric drugs are not well represented, for example in the chapter generalities rubric Paralysis –one side, Drug opium is not mentioned, and a better rubric for the same condition is given in the chapter Extremities–paralysis.
5. Lot of printing errors is present through out the Repertory.
6. Some remedies, which are not given in the index, represent certain rubrics. example Nux-J in Talk indisposed to; Kali-ox in Insanity;
7. Omission of drugs in certain rubrics.
As the years passed many have contributed to the repertory for its completeness, but most of them based on there on distinct philosophy and experience and thus resulted in a swing away from the original philosophy and construction. This will explain many of the criticism.
