Something continually confused is the idea that Janov or therapists at his center are the only ones who practice primal therapy. Primal was actually independently discovered and is practiced by others. That can be seen in articles at the Primal Page website, which hardly has any literature by Janov ...

I agree that it would be a good thing if more people would visit and contribute here. Here is a question for which I haven't found a satisfactory answer. What type of therapy does Alice Miller really favor./ I guess it wouldn't be primal therapy, but what would it be? There is the psychohistory foru...

Hi John, I have to say that I can't see much of what you are saying. It seems excessively complex. How would or should it effect the practice of primal therapy. A basic understanding for me is that most of my characteristics are innate. Those are the capacities that I am trying to recover which have...

Hi John, This is all confused to me. Primal therapy is not unisexual. Therapy occurs at the level of the individual, man or woman, and not society. Each of us have our issues to deal with and these come out in therapy. Theories are good for books and message boards but in practice therapists mainly ...

Hi John, Yes, it would be a great thing if RST truly works faster than primal and without therapists. I probably do best when I talk about my own therapy rather than making general statements. I feel sure that I never would have done well in any kind of self therapy because it was, and often still i...

Hi John, I see codependency and distorted family relationships not as where neurosis lives but just as symptoms of primal pain. It is the individual who sets those things up. Maybe here is a difference between RST and primal. Neurosis lives in the individual. Also, only true psychotics live in a wor...

Hi Dennis, Thanks for the link to Emerson's work. There is no contradiction here. Those same babies untreated would need much more time to primal birth trauma later on. Primalling birth trauma so early should have the effect of preventing much of the later compounding traumas. Babies do not yet have...

Hi John, When I am in a triggering situation, I am unclear on what I would do differently with RST as opposed to primal. Lets take a specific example: My wife is being bitchy with me and nags a lot. This is a reoccuring trigger. When I have a chance, by myself, I express my anger towards her. This w...

Hi John, There is a recent book which I mentioned in another post, by Jim Pullaro, in the media category here, which cites Van Winkles ideas and work. The book seems to treat Van Winkles work as another take on the same process. It may be of interest. I tend to feel that what is unique about my ther...
