Q-Rep 5 — Repertory of Mental Qualities
Jeremy Sherr and Raphael Neu's thematic repertory organises remedies around the major mental qualities practitioners meet in the consulting room — perfectionist, control, victim, guilt, money, home, snakes — instead of fragmented 19th-century rubrics.
Built from rubrics to remedies
Unlike conventional repertories, Sherr started from a list of major mental qualities and searched for remedies, with each rubric compiled independently by two or more experienced homeopaths who cross-checked results at every step and verified every entry at its original source.
All-inclusive thematic rubrics
Each quality aggregates every remedy drawn from the rubrics and themes belonging to that theme, following Boenninghausen's concept of generalisation. The aim is that rubrics have a very high (95% and up) chance of containing the correct remedy, removing the need to combine narrow rubrics.
Contemporary language and themes
Qualities reflect how modern patients actually speak — big ego, carers and helpers, divided, failure, guilt, home, low self-esteem, money, obsessive compulsive, opinion of others, perfectionist, type-A, victim, water — themes often underrepresented in traditional Victorian-era repertories.
Four-degree quality-based scoring
Degrees are assigned on symptom quality and source reliability rather than frequency: 4 points for primary remedies with major pathogenic characteristics, 3 for important aspects, 2 for definite belonging, 1 for experimental or minor symptoms. Primary rubrics contain only 3-4 point remedies.
