Is Primal Therapy Effective?

This video discusses Primal Therapy. Primal Therapy, which is sometimes incorrectly referred to as primal scream therapy, is an obscure and controversial therapy that was popular in the 1970s. Primal Therapy was used to treat mood dysphoria and neurosis that were thought to have an origin in traumatic events. The primary technique in Primal Therapy was to role play an infant state by crying, screaming, and displaying mild aggression toward inanimate objects. There is no strong evidence that Primal Therapy was effective.
