Insecurity: A Homeopathic Perspective - Massimo Mangialavori

Insecurity is a universal emotion experienced from on extent or another in all lives. For some this invades at moments; for others, the feeling may be monumental and is the driving force in their existence. All face insecurity in their own particular and individualistic style.

Dr. Massimo Mangialavori examines this vast topic by acknowledging the complexity of human life and imploring us to recognize the depth and complexity of Homeopathic Medicine. He opens by presenting the psychological perspective of the dimensions and causations of poor self-confidence and its counterpart, self-assurance; he continues by exploring the interplay of these polarities in achieving narcissistic balance. To further clarify these aspects, representative homeopathic substances and their distinctive characteristics are introduced. Through out this book, Dr, Mangialavori returns to the roots of Homeopathic Medicine by providing concrete examples of how to better to utilize the homeopathic repertory to study these broad topics as well as lesser-known remedies, and to refine the repertorial study of our patients.
