An eight-year-old boy's parents are concerned about his tantrums. They write an email beforehand because he doesn't like them talking about them: going berserk, angry, using foul language, "I'm going to run away," slamming doors very hard. When he explodes, it can last an hour; you can't prevent it or deflect it. He's very strong in that aggression; there's no way to counter it. At home, he often speaks in a loud voice because he can't keep quiet. They're always on guard, saying, "We always watch our words; it can suddenly change." It's threatening and frightening for his little brother; he can easily treat him like "prey." He's very aggressive and has power struggles. His father can't always stay calm and sometimes lashes out. It started around the time he turned five. He experienced a lot of stimulation during that period. His brother was six months old at the time. He got glasses then, a 4-point increase. As a toddler, he was perfect. A tantrum starts after a disappointment, or when he's in a hurry, then it can suddenly change, and he'll hit, kick, and throw. Aside from these tantrums, he's sociable, willing to help out, cuddly, and engaged with children at the school camp. He speaks powerfully, loves order and calm, and talks over us. He can't take "no," and his parents are constantly preoccupied with how he's doing, wondering if he'll be rebellious. It's disproportionate, frightening. "Where will this go?" Playing: he builds with Lego, goes to soccer, and scouts. He's very smart, can be enthusiastic and energetic, and is unstoppable. He's loyal, has a good sense of "this is what Mom and Dad like," can hang out with his parents, and can forcefully correct his little brother. Pregnancy: his mother was very happy, "We waited a long time, I've been living my best life," and the birth went well; she enjoyed it. At school, there's no problem. He sleeps well, and he doesn't have dreams. Sometimes he acts a bit clumsily, but the gym is going well. From a very young age, he was very realistic, that means "really in this world." During the consultation, his behavior changes. At first, he's calm, and then he stands at the door, saying "come," "come," and shouting. He's in a completely different world, radiating stressful energy. Scilla maritima does nothing; he's disappointed about that ("It's not working!" he shouts angrily). The moments of escalation dominate the whole day at home. "We're losing control. When he was toddler, ‘we were just three’; but when his little brother arrived, for him we suddenly became his mom and dad."

AnalysisSilica series, Series 3: His world consists of: home, family, and how it functions. Problems only exist at home; school and friends are going well; he is loyal to his parents and boyfriends. They are very rational, both parents and child. The emphasis is on "above," the head, and there's strength and rage in the pelvis too (the primitive outbursts): this refers to the Liliidae, Series 33. "Pelvis" as a theme is used here because of the visible charge and strength; he can move from his base, like someone practicing martial arts.
Phase 7: Going berserk, incorrigible, out of control.
Phase 6: The ideal child he was before, the ideal situation (both pregnancy and toddler-hood) is disappearing, almost gone, and the father sometimes lashes out at him.
The subphase is usually the most visible, the top layer, the exterior. The Phase fits more with the "undertone," the base.
Phase 11: the charge is that the parents are constantly living; "What's going to happen?" Being on guard for an outburst. Phase 11: Holding your position, maintaining control. Exploding is the aspect of Phase 7.
Veratrum album: Speech loud, losing social position. It's often been seen that a highly desired pregnancy could be used as a reference to the "delusion he is a prince" category. Then suddenly you are just a human being, as everybody, paradise lost, and you no longer experience the strong appreciation, you are out, fitting with Phase 6.
The charge, the anger, resembles the idea known from the Nightshades, something uncontrollable, a Phase 7 aspect.
Prescription: Veratrum album C30.

Follow-up after four weeksThey had a wonderful time; the first few days were stress-free, but after that, it was varying a bit. But no more excesses. Mother: "I enjoyed it so much!" The second day, he had a song stuck in his head, one line all day long. It sounded like a mantra, but it also felt a bit like bullying. After that, he couldn't stop singing for another day (this is a remarkable reaction; the singing section mentions Veratrum album). After a week, they realized there was no more anger. Last week, he walked into the hallway once more and banged his head again. Those kinds of things happen, but after a minute, it's like, "Oh yeah, you can tell," "I don't want this," and it's over. They even managed to drag him into the car once, without any consequences. His emotions can still be very strong; he can still swear, but it's very brief, for example, if you text him a lot. These days, he seems very distracted; he doesn't get around to dressing, as if it doesn't register with him, as if he's absent-minded. He's less likely to correct his brother. At the consultation, he's relaxed and reading. He seems more like a child in his posture and energy. He is, however, 'allowed' to leave early; his father is waiting outside, which is still a privilege, preferential treatment. Or a precaution, to prevent escalation. You can read now his walking: his head is strong, his body is suspended, he still lives largely from his thoughts, or from his imagination? The anger arose when he got glasses and was more exposed to the outside world, to what reality is like. Now that he's doing better, he's more caught up in his own thoughts again.
In this case we see a lot of conformations using rubrics mentioning Veratrum album: abusive, affectation, anger if things do not go after one’s will, cursing, raging restrained with great difficulty.
