It explains in detail how early trauma and adversity can have lifelong consequences and result in serious afflictions from cancer to diabetes. It can have monumental implications for medical practice, as well, and points to how we can rear healthy children.

Supporting Evidence

Welcome to Supporting Evidence, a section devoted to reporting findings from the research world that support or inform Primal Theory.

After several decades of focusing on cognition, neuroscientists are now delving into the world of emotion, giving birth to a new discipline: Affective Neuroscience. As data rolls out of the research labs and into the journals, many of the observations made by Dr. Arthur Janov decades ago are being confirmed from many directions and on many levels, from our earliest life in the womb to the nature of our complex social interactions with those around us. As Dr. Janov’s recent books demonstrate, many of these findings are advancing and enhancing Primal theory, especially in the areas of pre and perinatal programming, the theory of imprinting, and the lifelong effects of early and childhood trauma.

Contributions to this section will be made by Bruce Wilson and Peter Prontzos, both of whom have had long-term experience and interest in Primal therapy. Bruce is a medical writer who lives near Montreal, Quebec. He writes continuing medical education materials for physicians over a wide range of therapeutic areas. Peter teaches Political Science at Langara College in Vancouver, BC, and also holds a degree in Psychology from the University of Colorado. He is finishing a book tentatively titled: Primal Therapy: An Introduction.

Bruce and Peter have had been involved with Primal therapy since they met in the early 1970s. They've been lifelong friends ever since and now work closely with Dr. Janov.
