Clinical Skills 4:
Case Studies in Vitalist Herbalism

Often case analysis develops in stages during the interview, and an evolving theory of the case guides the interview to uncover confirmatory information or take the emerging analysis in a different direction. In this fourth course in our Advanced Clinical Skills sequence, we present a series of successful case histories based on the interview and analytical methods presented in the first 3 courses, so that the vision of the successful case can help demonstrate the kind of information most important to elicit to develop an effective vitalist treatment plan.
