| Sumario: | Background: The role of the psyche in disease has been explored in both psychoanalysis and homoeopathy. While psychoanalysis investigates unconscious conflicts, homoeopathy emphasises mental and emotional symptoms as central to diagnosis and cure. Materials and Methods: A qualitative analytical study was conducted by reviewing classical homoeopathic literature and psychoanalytic texts, comparing conceptual frameworks such as the vital force, miasms, and Freud's structural model of the psyche. Results: Significant parallels were identified between psychoanalytic constructs (Id, Ego, Superego) and homoeopathic understanding of mental states and disease expression. Remedy pictures closely correspond to psychodynamic patterns. Conclusion: Integrating psychoanalytic insights enhances homoeopathic case taking and remedy selection, reinforcing a holistic model of mind-body healing.
