CONSTITUTIONAL PERSONALITY TYPOLOGIES IN HOMEOPATHY AND AYURVEDA
Keywords:
constitutional personality typologies, homeopathy, ayurvedaAbstract
The aim of this paper is to connect Kretchmer and Sheldon’s constitutional typology with concepts belonging to homeopathic theory and practice and ayurveda heritage. An attempt to synthesize psychological approaches and paradigms of alternative medicine has been made. This is followed by directions for further examination of these issues and several standpoints on possibilities for empirical reexamination of heritage of some unconventional disciplines within the branch of personality psychology.
