Developed by American Psychiatrist, Dr Arthur Janov, who noticed that adult patents who were encouraged to voice their ‘primal scream’ indicating unresolved hurt from childhood, made greater progress and were often healed completely. Primal therapy sessions are intensive, often traumatic, and allow such catharsis for patients that they can live fully for the first time in their lives, having expressed their childhood hurts and grieved for them.
Notes: Claims to help deep-rooted psychological problems. John Lennon was a famous exponent of Primal Therapy.
