Primal therapy

n.

Primal therapy is a trauma-based psychotherapy created by Arthur Janov, who argues that neurosis is caused by  repressed pain of trauma. Janov argues that repressed pain can be sequentially brought to conscious awareness and resolved through fully expressing the resulting pain. In therapy, the patient recalls and reenacts a particularly disturbing past experience and expresses normally repressed anger or frustration especially through spontaneous and unrestrained screams, hysteria, violence or strong graphic design.
