...other kinds of evidence of considerable importance for weighing Janov's final contribution. I am unfamiliar with Janov's "scientific" evidence; his physiological theories and experimental data are contained in The Anatomy of Mental Illness, a book written before The Primal Revolution.

However, he reportedly hopes to overcome that obstacle as the movement towards his therapy spreads...

In 1971, the company ran up a profit of $6,000,000 on sales of $164 million. An imaginative businessman, the 53-year-old Farah nevertheless holds decidedly 19th century views about organized labor.
