What is Kent's Repertory?
James Tyler Kent first published this repertory in 1897. It is the most widely taught and referenced repertory in homeopathic education worldwide. It contains approximately 68,000 rubrics organised into 37 chapters, spanning the full repertory from Mind to Generalities. Remedies are shown in three grades according to the strength of clinical confirmation.
Kent's structure is the foundation of almost every modern repertory: Murphy, Complete Repertory, and Synthesis all inherit Kent's chapter order and hierarchical logic. If you're learning homeopathy, Kent is where you start.
