Passive Case Witnessing Problem
It’s a case of a 6 year old girl who consulted me on 18/12/08.
The very
first peculiar thing we observe about the child is …she enters the
consulting room holding mothers hand tightly.
M:
She has made a drawing for you.
(Child’s
sibling is also our patient. Every time when this child used to
accompany her sister, she would draw and now also she has got the
following drawings. This itself shows us the child’s intense connection
with her subconscious through this form of art.)

M: She does not have any health problem as such
but I wanted to start treatment for her overall development.
PASSIVE CASE WITNESSING PROCESS
D:
Tell me what’s happening to you..? Can I send your mother out?
P:

OBSERVATION: Clings tightly to her mother.
D:

around mother’s neck. N……P……

you like to do?
P:

D:

P:

OBSERVATION: Now she removes her hand from the mother’s
neck and sits leaning on the table, yet she is in her mothers
lap.
D:
What else you like to do?
P:
Like to go to school.
D:
Very nice, very nice you are talking?
M:
You sit on the chair and talk to the doctor.
P: OBSERVATION; child sits on a chair next to
the mother but still holding her arm.
As the mother starts to leave the room, the child jumps off the
chair, starts crying and goes and hugs the mother,
and goes out with her.)
(The mother
comes in with her after some time but now the child sits on the
chair and mother on the sofa behind her.)
D:
OK, so tell me what else you like to do?
P:
I’ll like to play – go on a slide. Like to read books.
D:
Very nice. You are speaking so well. What else you like to do?

do homework.

ACTIVE CASE WITNESSING PROCESS
D:

P:
Scared of lions, tigers…
D:
What else?
P:
Bhoot.
The mother
had some work and she had to go out of the room. Immediately the
child said no.
D: You are speaking so well. Just talk with me and
your mother will come in 2 minutes.
P:
No...no...(OBSERVATION: She gets up and clings to mother and
starts crying)
D:
OK you don’t talk, but can you draw till your mom comes back?
(She sits on the chair and starts drawing.)
(Since
she was not ready to communicate even after so much of encouragement
and the fact that at the beginning she had brought drawings, we
ask her to draw.)
OBSERVATION:
She covers the paper with the hand and
also draws at one lower section of the page.)

D:
Wow! What is this?
P:

Child goes
out and comes back with another drawing along with the mother.

MOTHER’S OBSERVATION OF THE CHILD
She
is very affectionate child. She will go and give big hugs even
to strangers. She is very fond of her younger brother and she will
make him understand things by saying you can win this or that and
she lets him win. Actually she is friendly with anybody and everybody.
END OF THE CASE
---------------------------------------------------
UNDERSTANDING
OF THE CASE
OU OF PLACE/ OUT OF ORDER
Passive case witnessing process
Verbally the child didn’t speak anything peculiar but our
observations regarding the child were very peculiar…
• Her clinging.
• Sitting in the mother’s lap.
• Holding mother tightly.
• Holding her hand while talking.
• Hugging the mother.
Active case witnessing process
• Clings to mother as she tries to go out of the room.
• Covering the paper with hand while drawing.
• A heart.
Active-Active case witnessing process
• I love heart .
• I drew heart and star in the Christmas tree.
• Drawing of a garden
• Flowers.
• Draws human figures and then joins all of them together.
• Too much family attachment.
• Ring-a-ring-a-roses.
• That dog he loved Laila Leila
• Like they don’t shout, they don’t hit and
all.
WHAT IS THE FOCUS/CENTRE/ESSENCE OF THE CASE
• Love, attachment and togetherness.
• Love for heart.
This is very evident from her body language and all her drawings.
Also this further gets confirmed from the mother’s observation
of the child.
WHICH KINGDOM?
• Pure sensitivity seen.
• Drawings of garden, flowers.
This clearly points to the PLANT KINGDOM.
WHICH FAMILY?
This tremendous attachment to the mother, togetherness of the
family, hugging and clinginess, love for hearts is very suggestive
of the MALVALES family.
WHICH MIASM?
We observed that whenever she draws she covers the paper with
her hand. This gives a hint of the SYCOTIC MIASM.
WHICH REMEDY?
The remedy from the Malvales family with Sycotic miasm running
in the centre is TILIA EUROPA. BUT in the case we observed that
along with the general theme of the Malvales family, the child’s
focus was “Heart”. So when a further inquisitive search
was made keeping focus on the “Heart” interestingly
we found out a remedy TILIA CORDATA which also belongs to the same
family where the leaves of the tree are heart shaped.
Thus the remedy given was TILIA CORDATA.
WHICH POTENCY?
At the end of Passive case witnessing process, verbally the child
seemed to be at the ‘Name and Fact’ level but the peculiar
body language which we didn’t understand initially and which
got connected later on with the whole phenomenon, represented the
child’s complete altered energy pattern. Thus the child (non-verbally)
vibrated at the Delusion level. Therefore the potency given was
1M, single dose.
