LIFE SPACE INVESTIGATION:
A 32 yrs male patient, native of Bihar, but born and brought up in Mumbai, came to
the OPD for case definition at appointed time. Fa-Very strict hence IPR with father was not
good. Mother is good but she follows father. Whatever father tells, patient and his brother have
to follow. So from childhood relations with parents were not good. Patient studied up to 6th std.
After 6th std patient had to go to another school which was at a long distance where travel
expenses were more. Father didn’t have enough money to spend for him as well as brother for
higher studies. So he was told to go for work and brother tol go for further studies. Patient felt
sad, angry and rejected and thought why only brother should be permitted and not me? Even
though he is not much interested in studies. After this he started separating emotionally from
ICR SYMPOSIUM ON HOMOEOPATHIC PRESCRIBING DECEMBER 2018, MUMBAI,
EXPLORING DR. C. M. BOGER’S PHILOSOPHY & ITS APPLICATION IN CLINICAL
PRACTICE
parents and brothers. Then he went for manual work from 12 yrs of age. While expressing this
patient told “I did almost all difficult works in childhood”. Initially he used to give all the money to
father. Then he stopped it & he doesn’t give because patient thought “father is not taking care of
me, then why should I give money to him?”
From 12 yrs he started friendships with many people even with elders and started
drinking alcohol and smoking daily. Once father scolded him for something and patient felt
angry, left home and went to Kerala for 3 days with 2 friends. Then he started to go faraway
places when some situation occurs e.g, when father gets angry with him. Patient can’t express
his anger towards father. He shares everything with friends or weeps when alone. Patient told
whatever the problem is; he will feel better by drinking alcohol and sharing with friends.
He had relationship with a lot of girls and many of them were ready to marry him.
Patient didn’t took that much interest in it and doesn’t have courage to tell to his father. So he
used to refuse them. Father fixed the date for marriage without informing anything to patient and
told patient the date for marriage. Patient got angry but could not do anything. On the day of
marriage he first saw his wife. Patient told he was having a lot of expectations about future wife
eg , She should work with patient or else somewhere and wife should also take care of family
and financial responsibility and overall she should be supportive for everything. But patients’
wife doesn’t have any job and she has lot of demands on patient and he has to fulfill all that.
Due to this fights occur between patient and wife. Patient used to get angry when wife
demands something he used to scold her that ”You don’t like me that’s why you are getting
angry with me. Better you go to your parents home. Then I will be happy. After that wife used to
cry and after sometime she starts talking with the patient. But inside patient feels guilty that “why
I told like that & I shouldn’t tell like that”. But outside he never expresses it.
Patient told wife is also same like his father. So he doesn’t like her. “If she is in
mother’s home I feel very happy because she concentrates only on her household works, taking
care of children etc. When I come from office she starts with all her demands. It irritates him.
When PP asked patient what are you expecting from her? Patient told that he is feeling wife not
sitting with him and never talks about him and doesn’t care about him.
When PP asked what you like about her? Patient told she cooks very well and lot of varieties.
That patient likes very much and he told he doesn’t like if she is cooking same food daily.
Father, Mother and brother (married) staying together in same house near to patients’
house. But patient doesn’t go there. No good IPR with brother also. If he is going there he
doesn’t talk to father because father is upset that he is not giving money to them. Patient
doesn’t care about that. Patient is very close with his 2 daughters.
Patient is very ambitious, works very hard for success. Satisfied in current job .First he
worked as a normal labor. Then he got promoted because of his ability and experience. But he
has lot of work pressure and tension. After marriage also he had lot of girl friends .1 girl is very
close to him, working together since 3 yrs .He listens to whatever she is telling because she is
taking role of father, mother, friend and everything. He reduced alcohol and smoking because of
her. She is married and her husband is also patient’s friend (He came with patient during the
day of case taking).He used to spend lots of time with them. Friends are very important in his
