Crossroads to Cure

Reviews

—British Homoeopathic Journal

This thorough treatise on homeopathic case management is long overdue, and certainly does the difficult topic justice. Henriques’ precision and organization are impeccable, if not a bit rigid, and the admonitions are clear, if not overstated. This dissertation is literally brimming with descriptions of potential patient responses and the recommended practitioner follow-up gambits. Every student of homeopathy should read this book before dispensing their first remedy and practitioners should reread it frequently to make sure they are not straying from the path delineated by the masters.

—SIMILLIMUM

Crossroads to Cure is a very thorough and informative guide to the second prescription in homeopathy and would be useful to anyone with an interest in this field.

—Library Letter, Bastyr University

In Crossroads to Cure Ms Henriques has simply documented the work of the masters: Hahnemann, Kent, Close and Roberts etc, but it is much more than a ‘Hahnemann said this, Kent said that’ format. Ms Henriques takes this morass of information and assembles it into an easy to read narrative. While telling us nothing new, the book places all the information into context in a single place. A useful guide to the conumdrum of ‘what to do next’ that has plagued homeopaths from day one.

—Homeopathy Today

Crossroads to Cure is a clear, well-organized guide for homeopathic students and a sound review for practitioners...excellent reading for anyone who wants to integrate the contributions of the original homeopathic masters.

—Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients

As any homeopathic practitioner who has undergone a baptism of fire and would disclose, the second prescription can be a bear. Nicola Henriques has astutely outlined in clear and certain terms a variety of down-to-earth examples of how to do it.

Reviews

For students wanting a solid grounding in traditional case gathering and for practitioners befuddled by the multiplicity of contemporary approaches and eager for a back-to-basics approach, Henriques is unapologetically and reassuringly prescriptive.…The richness of this book lies in the moments when…Henriques speaks from her own experience regarding enabling clients to safely discuss traumatic events; the judicious use of silence, and reasons for resisting the temptation to intervene when a client becomes distressed. These observations amongst other gems of clinical insight shine through with warmth and wisdom.

—The Homeopath | Journal of the Society of Homeopaths

Nikki Henriques clear-sighted, precise and exactingly logical book is both for the beginner wishing to learn the intricacies of the homeopathic interview and prescription process, and seasoned practitioners wanting to affirm and strengthen their understanding of homeopathic philosophy.

Her careful elucidation of the intricacies of the patient interview might bring up refreshing new angles to your work. Including points pertinent to animal patients, Ms Henriques brings us step-by-step to the production of a masterpiece—the portrait of our patient’s disease. We learn how to ask questions without directing the answer; how to obtain critical modality information, how to tread lightly on emotional ground, how to gently and respectfully elicit crucial tidbits that directed questions would completely miss. This book is a gem for all with an interest in homeopathic treatment
