Kali Arsenicosum

Kali Arsenicosum

(Fowler's Solution)

Jan Scholten

Vithoulkas has talked about Kali Arsenicosum in relation to its fear of heart disease, but he hasn't said much about the rest of the mental symptoms. The first case I will present below is an old case, based in Vithoulkas picture, with little reference to the group analysis, because I did not know what to look for at that time. The second case includes the group analysis, based on the type of questions I had learned to ask by then.

Concepts

• Duty Redundancy
• Principles Bailiff
• Work Thieves
• Rigidity Avarice Poverty
• Alone Precise
• Closed Alone
• Restless
• Dissolution

Group analysis

• Doing your duty to avoid redundancy
• Working as a bailiff
• Rigid and precise
• Failure comes stealthily and unannounced
• Doing your duty in cases of bankruptcy
• Restlessly doing your duty
• Keeping quiet about your fear of making mistakes

Picture of Kali Arsenicosum

Essence:

1. Doing your duty to avoid redundancy
2. Doing your duty to avoid being made redundant

They feel they always have to do their duty, otherwise things will go very wrong. They never stop, they can't afford to rest, afraid to risk their job or their career. They are equally precise regarding their health, as if they don't take care, things might go very wrong. Their body may dissolve, just as their job may dissolve.

They are scrupulous in their observation of the smallest symptoms, in case it is the first sign of something serious. It is their duty to warn the doctor, but if he says there is nothing to worry about, they feel he hasn't taken it seriously and he hasn't done his duty.

Work as a bailiff

Their job often revolves around a kind of termination. They may choose to become a doctor, where the theme of work is around life and death. Or they become lawyers, where they can make judgments around redundancies, inheritances or bankruptcies, or they work as a bailiff where the termination of an era of possession is the central theme.

Rigid and precise

It is their duty to work in a controlled and precise manner.

If they make a mistake it may result in someone being wrongly condemned to pay a fine or give up his job.

If they are not extremely conscientious as a doctor they might miss the first signs of a fatal disease.

They don't tolerate mistakes, either in themselves or in others. And mistakes always happen at the most unexpected moments, usually when their attention has been momentarily diverted.
