“In The Primal Revolution, Dr. Janov explores – through the feelings, the actions, the words of his patients – the way in which Primal Therapy solves neurotic problems for faster, far more effectively and far more permanently than other therapies.  Through Primal Therapy a person can quickly gain awareness of his real feelings and his true needs, giving up the defences and role-playing that block his capacity for a deeply feeling and satisfying life.  The neurotic or troubled person often clings to religion, philosophy or conventional psychotherapy in order to give life some meaning.  “He senses that he has never lived and doesn’t know how to live.  He is willing to trust others to lead the way because he gave up the only real answer years before – himself.  Primal therapy restores that self to him.”  The Primal Revolution tells how the techniques of this amazing new therapy have helped more and more people overcome many different neurotic afflictions – form tension and anxiety to such complex problems as alcoholism, drug addiction and homosexuality.”
