Arthur Janov è stato uno psicologo e psicoterapeuta che ha creato la terapia primal, un trattamento per le malattie mentali incentrato sul discendere ripetutamente, sentire ed esprimere il dolore infantile a lungo represso. Il suo lavoro pionieristico è emerso da un profondo incontro terapeutico nel 1967, in cui ha assistito e successivamente articolato il concetto di Dolore Primal. Janov ha sviluppato un approccio terapeutico che incoraggia i clienti a rivivere e vocalizzare emozioni profondamente sepolte, offrendo un percorso verso la guarigione attraverso l'espressione catartica.
The culmination of more than 30 years of research in human psychology, this text clearly explains how to access the deepest levels of the brain, where imprinted memories and pain lie, and fully relive the primal experiences that drive behavior in order to improve health.
When THE PRIMAL SCREAM was published in 1970 it caused an international sensation. In introduced a revolutionary new approach to psychological thinking- Primal Therapy, which encourages patients to relive core experiences instead of taking refuge from reality in a comfortable half-world of neurosis. Twenty years on, THE NEW PRIMAL SCREAM takes the theory even further, showing that repressed pain is bad not only for mental but also for physical health. Citing case histories, Dr Janov shows how the application of his therapy has helped victims of incest and other abuse overcome subsequent illness. The implications are as devastating as the therapy is revolutionary.THE NEW PRIMAL SCREAM discusses and reaches some startling conclusions about illness and Primal Therapy, exploring; *Primal the great hidden secrets, * the gates of the brain and loss of feeling, *How early experience is imprinted, *Illness as the silent scream, *Sex, sensuality and sexuality, *The role of weeping in psychotherapy, *Why we have to relive our childhood to get well.
Explores the underlying unconscious forces that wear the human body down and cause illness, revealing the sources of self-destructive behavior and including special chapters on suicide, depression, migraines, and immune diseases
