Scream therapy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Scream Therapy" can refer to a number of different modes of psychotherapy.

There was never any such thing as "Primal Scream Therapy", as some refer to Primal Therapy which was developed by Dr. Arthur Janov and first brought to the awareness of the public in his book entitled The Primal Scream (1970). After this first book, Janov has always distanced Primal Therapy from "scream" therapies.

A Scream away from Happiness, by Daniel Casriel, M.D (1972), introduced a scream therapy which was conducted mostly in a group setting and was quite different from Primal Therapy. He was aware of Janov's work and pointed out the differences. He placed considerable emphasis on screaming.
