The process of repertorisation and case-analysis is inextricably bound to and interdependent on various crucial elements. This bids fair and emphasises on learning and/or honing of all skills required to select the most appropriate homeopathic remedy for the given case.
One could say that solving a homeopathic case is easy in theory. One has only to choose the correct symptoms, underline them correctly, and the computer will find the simillimum. Or, better still, memorise all the remedies and then give the simillimum, or the most appropriate homeopathic remedy, based on your knowledge of Materia Medica without even opening up a repertory — the reference book which lists symptoms and the homeopathic remedies used to treat them. Some cases lend themselves to these methods. Unfortunately, many cases have such complexity to them that in order to find the simillimum a variety of skills need to be mastered. Such skills would include:
The ability to know all variations of the human condition as much as possible, so that any symptom or distortion from ‘health’ is easily recognised by you. This is the wisdom of ‘SEEING THINGS AS THEY ARE’ and knowing the possibilities of pathology in human nature
To know the objectives, goals and limits of cure in each case. The prognosis
The ability to have a keen sense of intuition and powerful skills of observation all working in harmony to extract the relevant and factual information from the patient
The ability to experience this information without prejudice or distortion and record it objectively
The ability to perceive in every case what needs to be cured at the time the patient presents their symptoms to you
The knowledge and insight to choose only those symptoms that are relevant to what needs to be cured at the time you see them
To have a repertory programme that is complete, accurate and combines principles of homeopathy in the analysis process to the degree it takes to make intelligent suggestions
To have the knowledge of Materia Medica, reference to it and experience of previous cases so that these suggestions can be confirmed or rejected according to sound judgment

The Subtleties of Homeopathic Prescribing
Homeopaths often probe into fears and dreams of patients, because these are the areas of least control.
