Iris Diagnosis Diploma (Iridology)Back to Introduction pagePreviously the course was split into two sections, these were the introductory and advanced sections. We have now combined these to create one course however, the two sections still exist within the course itself. By special arrangement it is still possible to just purchase the seperate sections. Please contact the college if this facility is needed. There is no examination, assessment being through coursework. We teach Iridology quite separately from other topics and anyone who possesses, or expects to possess, a practitioner's qualification in any therapeutic discipline, may join the course. Our Diploma in Iridology has long been recognised by The Guild of Naturopathic Iridologists (International). Syllabus Introductory The nature of iris observation, the Intestinal areas, the Iris map, the Chronic and Acute, The Intestinal ring, Stomach ring and Nerve wreath, the Constitution, Respiratory system, Lacunae, open lesions, inherent weaknesses, the Organs of Elimination, other Organs, Special signs, complete Diagnosis of a subject. The treatment of the topic follows the principles of Bernard Jensen in the USA. Syllabus Advanced The advanced level extends this considerably by bringing in the work of Dorothy Hall and of Dr Josef Deck, both of which are the subject of a special presentation during the course. The published insights of Farida Davidson and Harri Wolf, while not separately presented, also influence the presentation of the course material. Both the Australian School, (Dorothy Hall ) and the German School, (Dr Deck/Harri Wolf), offer an added dimension to the study and interpretation of the constitution. The study focuses upon the different personality aspects, which show up in different constitutional types. Dorothy Hall gives insights into what contributes to various different types of personality and their emotional and mental responses and their pre-dispositions to health or disease. Different sorts of people can have different priorities, preferences and imperatives built into their very nature from or before birth, sometimes determining the course of their entire lives and their attitudes to the world and to other people. The course teaches an understanding of these types, and facilitates an empathy between patient and practitioner. It shows how people of the differing constitutional types are likely to go out of balance either mentally or emotionally and how their vulnerability to various physical ailments varies. The German School offers a very exciting and precise approach to the constitutional types, which is really quite different, but no less helpful. It highlights variations in the susceptibility to diseases of different organs and systems. It is a prime purpose of this course, not only to teach these differing positions, but also to demonstrate how it is that all three of these major schools of iridology embody different aspects of the truth, how each is individually valuable and how a full and deep understanding of the meaning of 'constitution' can be gained through a sympathetic synthesis of the contributions from all three of these schools.
