From the Book

Catherine R. Coulter, a well-known authority on homoeopathic Materia Medica, has been a major influence in introducing the homoeopathic archetypes to the general public.

Her three-volume Portraits of Homeopathic Medicines: Psychophysical Analyses and Selected Constitutional Types, an in-depth analysis of the principal homeopathic personality types, was twice chosen as one of "the best books of the year" in the category of non-fiction in The Independent of London (Vol. 1 in 1986 and Vol. 2 in 1988).

The reviewer noted,

"If you are interested in the basic human types out of which we are all made up, then this [book] is for you...Ms. Coulter is a masterly psychologist who writes enchantingly."

Her books have been translated into several languages and are internationally hailed classics.

Catherine Coulter

(1934 -    )

Catherine Coulter was born on January 21st 1934 in London, England. She lives in USA, in Arlington, MA.

Ms. Coulter practices classical homeopathy half time since 1961, full time since 1974. She has taught since 1975, mainly in the United States. She teaches homeopathic doctors through the preceptorship method.

She only works in conjunction with licensed practitioners. She is affiliated with the National Center of Homoeopathy and the Summer School Course for Physicians. (Lecturer on Materia Medica 1977 - 1988)

Ms. Coulter is the author of: 'Portraits of Homoeopathic Medicines' (4 Volumes). Her books are thoroughly documented. If there is no reference to a classical text then, as far as she is aware, she has been the first to make the observation in the homeopathic literature.

This, however, only refers to the mental-emotional symptoms. She did not document every physical symptom, for fear of weighing down the book and because these are easily accessed in the standard literature.
