Repression is the real killer. It strikes us down in many disguised forms, including heart disease and cancer. But where does repression come from? And how can it be relieved? In THE NEW PRIMAL SCREAM, Dr. Arthur Janov details exactly how ridding the mind of repressed, early childhood or infant traumas has been scientifically linked to the reduction of many serious medical problems. Problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, sleep disorders, high blood pressure, cancer, drug and alcohol addiction, sexual difficulties, phobias, obsessions, ulcers, migraines, asthma, and even arthritis. Though still considered "a rebellious child" in the psychological community, Primal Therapy has been scrutinized carefully for the past two decades by leading research centers throughout the world. Brain research at Rutgers University and the UCLA Brain Research Lab, bio-chemical research at the Open University and immune system and stress research at St. Bartholemew's Hospital in England all confirm that lower heart rates and other improved vital signs and other (key factors in prolonging life expectancy) are clearly evident in Primal Therapy patients. Dr. Janov's approach is completely natural. Without drugs or any artificial means, patients actually relive core, or Primal traumas sometimes dating all the way back to birth. THE NEW PRIMAL SCREAM is the culmination of Janov's life's work, featuring completely new case histories, observations, and clinical research not dealt with previously.
