DR. JAMES TYLER KENTAND MENTAL SYMPTOMS
Abstract
As we all know Dr. James Tyler Kent is considered to be the propagator of the concept of general symptoms which gives maximum stress on mental expressions. Hahnemann taught to see the person as a whole. Kent was a step ahead to say every disease begins in the mind and then the body is affected. Kent’s concept of man is always fascinating and he was the product of Swedenborgian philosophy and the latest development of psychology which just was shaking the Americans, was not unknown to him. Guided by this thought Kent introduced the concept of mind in a three levelled structure and its reflection is seen all through his literature; his Materia medica, repertory and obviously in his lectures on homoeopathic philosophy. This small endeavor aimed to study whether his theory is reflected in his clinical protocol.
