With this foundational work on anthroposophical medicine, now expanded by three chapters, Friedwart Husemann presents his life's work after 40 years of medical practice. Through case histories, general principles of understanding in anthroposophical medicine are developed and examined. The author not only practices an expanded understanding of humanity but also illustrates the path to rational therapy discovery across various fields. The broad scope of the presentation ranges from medicinal images to life counseling in general practice, curative eurythmy, mental exercises for health enhancement, methodological guidelines of Goethean research, to the healing impulse of the Gospel of Luke and a reform of medical education today. A valuable resource for every professional colleague and a joy to read for all who care about an anthroposophically expanded medicine.
