5.0 out of 5 stars
"Facing the Wolf" by Theresa Sheppard Alexander,
By
This review is from: Facing the Wolf: Inside the Process of Deep Feeling Therapy (Mass Market Paperback)
This is probably one of the best books on Primal Type Therapy available today. While Arthur Janov's books reached a large number of interested readers, promising early "cure" for neurosis, he never explained the actual process of the therapy. As a result, a number of people who tried to go through it alone, were very confused. Some of them did well, but others (both patients and therapists) misunderstood the therapy and landed up in difficulties. Ms Sheppard Alexander's book is unique in that she describes the process, step by step in a way that the unsophisticated reader can understand, and the professional can find meaningful and helpful. I have personally passed this book on to several clinical psychologists and their response has been most enthusiastic. Lay people who I have shared it with have also found it moving and helpful to themselves. The writer describes her own childhood traumas in a way that anyone can understand and identify with. More importantly she talks about how, through the therapy, she was able to start working through these traumas, and transform her life from being a frightened, bewildered 20 year old, who dropped out of college, into the successful mature professional she is today. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in the 'deep feeling psychotherapies'. - Pat Torngren

This review is from: Facing the Wolf: Inside the Process of Deep Feeling Therapy (Mass Market Paperback)
Theresa Alexander documents her own Primal Therapy experience in a direct narrative form depicting her intital three week intensive. Chapters alternate between client point of view and therapist point of view. Insightful, poignant,and ultimately hopeful. I cried my way through the book, and sighed at the end.

Its just a very good book. Its not just for those in pain. Thersa Alexander had a horrible childhood, and yet she came out alive and well, and has thrived as a thearpist and a person. I highly recommend this book.
