Detlef Rathmer does not write about topics he knows from books. He writes about what he has experienced, researched and developed in more than twenty-five years of therapeutic work. His work has three focuses that interpenetrate.
As a leading representative and developer of Enneagram homeopathy, building on the pioneering work of Dr. med. Peter Hegemann (1953–2017), he has developed a healing system of unique depth. His best-known work, “Rathmer’s Repertory”, is the most comprehensive reference for mental and emotional symptoms in homeopathy and has been integrated into the homeopathic software RADAR Opus since 2017.
With more than fifteen years of intensive work on the Enneagram, he is among the most distinguished German-speaking Enneagram experts. His particular contribution is the research of the 27 subtypes: the fine differentiations within the nine core types that make the Enneagram truly precise.
Besides the specialist books there is a third area, one that goes where things become truly existential: books about the wounds behind our patterns, about inner freedom beyond fixation, about awareness as a way of life. No guidebooks, no recipes, but books that invite the reader to look deeper than before.
