Homeopathy, when first discovered by Dr. Hahnemann, started off with a very modest following, of both homeopaths and patients. As its popularity increased, more literature was published on materia medica and philosophy. Consulting rooms became more crowded and the need for faster and more accurate mode of prescribing arose.
To meet the increasing demands of quicker prescription in homeopathic practice, it became necessary to have an organized index of symptoms with the corresponding remedies. Thus, the homeopathic repertory was conceptualised and created, the first index being made in the year 1805 by Master Hahnemann himself, the ‘Fragmenta De Viribus Medicamentorum Positivis Sive in Sano Corpore Observatis’.
Later, the other stalwarts of homeopathy came up with more repertories, more notably Boenninghausen, Kent and Boger. These pioneers created repertories which were quick to refer and easy for prescription. More and more homeopaths referred to their repertories to get the perfect similimum.
However, as homeopathy progressed and grew, the limitations of these repertories started becoming obvious. It became necessary for more than one repertory to be referred to for the purpose of repertorisation. Also, with the addition of newer provings and new rubrics, it became essential to stay in touch with the constant upgrades happening in homeopathy.
With this in mind, Roger Zandvoort created a computer database of corrections and additions to the repertory compiled by Kent and called it the Complete Repertory. As more editions of his vast repertory evolved, additions were made from Boenninghausen, Boger, as well as other noted authors. New remedies were also incorporated in various existing as well as new rubrics.
The latest version has more than 1,600 author sources and 50% more remedy information than the previous edition.
Complete Repertory 2011 Classic Edition is a ‘lite’ version based on the subset of the Complete Repertory. Rubrics that did not feature in Kent's, Boenninghausen's and the Synthetic Repertories are filtered out. Nevertheless, all the constructional improvements made in the rubrics as well as corrections included since the original release of Kent’s repertory are reflected in Complete Repertory 2011 Classic Edition. Cross-references are also maintained for those rubrics available in Classic Version.
