Overview
- Healing as a Spiritual Path
- Interview Skills in the Vitalist Tradition
- Getting the Story Right
- The Art of the Follow-up
Description
In our clinical skills sequence (Clinical Skills I, II, III and IV) we begin with a description of the psycho-spiritual challenges of the healer's path, then move through the technical aspects of the interview process, recognition of lifestyle, humoral and energetic patterns in the case, recognition of common nutrient deficiencies, case analysis to come up with the treatment plan, and finally example outcomes of these methods with details of 28 case studies.
In this first course in the sequence, we first describe the personal challenges of the healing path, and then give the skill set to get accurate and complete information from your patient. If you don't get the story right, then all your knowledge of plants and nutrition will be wasted. You will develop a treatment plan based on inaccurate or partial information, and clinical failure will be the result.
