"The culmination of over a decade of research and writing, Why You Get Sick, How You Get Well reveals the hidden forces of the unconscious that conspire against the human system, making us sick emotionally and physically. Working from the premise that there is memory that exists on a level that defies language, Dr. Janov explores the nature of this "feeling" memory and its far-reaching effects on the human body as well as emotions. Through his work in Primal Therapy, Dr. Janov has traveled deeper into the unconscious of his patients than any other mental health professional, and in doing so, has found remarkable healing facilities when people are allowed to "feel." What he and his patients have discovered is that the unconscious is not a mysterious place full of demons and dark forces, but a friendly place, and repository of one's early history."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
