SUGGESTED READING LIST

Patients often ask for reading materials to support my recommendations.  The following list includes a variety of different selections that will elucidate much of what I suggest.  Unfortunately, there is no single text that explains the ideas behind the work I do with trauma and development.  The scores of works on homeopathy may offer the best explanations, but I disagree with the notion of the ‘single remedy’ as is used in Classical homeopathy.  Most texts available in the United States (English) are on Classical homeopathy, so if you can ignore that one notion, most of the information is excellent.
