A number of major themes can be traced throughout the book which is basically an expanded version of lecture notes from a period of 5 years. These unfold as the author tells the story of how his ideas developed, starting with the insight that "potentised remedies have dynamic effects only" and ending with examples of his "situational materia medica".
Sankaran is a master detective and with great knowledge of the Repertory he uses the much neglected sections on delusions and dreams in new and imaginative ways, taking a remark of the patient or an observation and translating it into Repertory language with great skill. The book is an inspiration for us to "free up" in our use of the Repertory and to consider meanings behind our patients remarks..
In his situational Materia Medica Sankaran puts into imaginative nutshells the basic delusions or unsuitable postures of a number of homoeopathic medicines.
