Medicine, rhetoric and undermining: managing credibility in homeopathic
practice 

C. Campbell

 

This article examines homeopathic practitioners ‘real life’ accounts, and
illustrates the ways in which they negotiate their homeopathic practices as
contingently formulated ongoing social events in research interview
settings. Interview transcripts were analysed in a qualitative framework
using discourse analysis. The findings show that practitioners construct
homeopathy and defend their own individual practices either by
‘alignment-with-medicine’ or by ‘boosting-the-credibility-of-homeopathy’.
Homeopathy is also negotiated and sustained as an ‘alternative’ to notions
of conventional medicine, which is the accepted yardstick for practice or as
a practice that is portrayed as problematic. Overall, managing personal
credibility is accomplished through specific ways of accounting that tend to
marginalise homeopathy. Developing and establishing homeopathic practice
further as a discipline in its own right is offered as a ‘nucleus’ to reduce
continuing marginalisation.
