New Primal Scream

I dislike that I have other commitments and cannot sit all day reading this type of book which gives me insight no shrink or psychologist has managed to give in lots of sessions

A good book recommended to us

Many therapies ive done... no healing... BUT Primal Therapy is unlike others.Feeling your hurts instead of repressing or distracting yourself from pain unlocks potential for true peace to finally exist.Some people may not get this theory but stick at it or seek a counsellor to guide you through...

I read the handful of books about Janov's primal theory some 45 years ago. I thought then that Janov had gotten to the heart of the matter, and it influenced my thinking profoundly from then on. So at age 68 I thought I'd read 'The New Primal Scream' to see if me or my thinking had changed over time. The answer is no - no change. It still makes eminent sense to me.To think that some people are 'more alive' or 'more in touch with themselves' never made sense to me. If you're alive, you're as alive as any other person. Janov shows that all people are the same in their basic wants and needs, though our symbolic acting out can lead one to think otherwise. IOW, what you do does not necessarily correlate to some notion of mental health.Other readers have stated that Janov's Primal Therapy is indeed revolutionary. I agree. Janov, IMO, is that very rare genius who took a field (psychology) with a century of thinking and discovered the key to human behavior. I put him in the same league with Newton, Darwin, and Einstein for clearing the smoke. His work is that profound.

Explains the process and results of the therapy, while providing details regarding how the mind represses traumatic pain and how it can be free of it.

Excellent book. Could not put it down.

love these books......they are an integral part of my work as a Therapist. Thank you Amazon for the quick delivery.

ottimo il libro ottimo il rivenditore, la velocità ed è tutto consigliabile (è solo la lunghezza obbligatoria del commento che sfianca :p)

This book goes into the core, leaves countless of other books about the subject of psychology and self help to rest (I don't mean that they don't offer any value, but this really brings you closer to understanding of your neurosis (which is not to be seen as a negative)) and gives tools for understanding that to experience the trauma, you have to go through it, to re-live it again, in the very cells and nerves of your body. The New Primal Scream has many accounts of people going through their traumas, first had accounts. I recommend this book very much. Also look for Wilhelm Reich and Alexander Lowen. (also unslaved.com has marvellous material)
