dr.syntax Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Dr. Solter claims allowing babies to cry and have tantrums is essential to their physical and mental well being. She discusses a babies ability to have BIRTH PRIMALS and the importance of them. And that crying is also an important aspect of Primal Therapy. I wish to note that Dr.Solter is an internationally renowned expert on infant and child care. Dr.Solter is a developmental psychologist, lecturer,international workshop leader and consultant in three languages. She is the founder and director of the: Aware Parenting Institute. Some peer reviews of her works are here: [ http://www.awareparenting.com/books.htm#abnew. She is also the author of the following books: " Crying for Comfort" " The Aware Baby" "Understading Tears and Tantrums " " Helping Young Children Flourish" " Raising Drug-Free Kids: 100 Tips for Parents ". There may be some other books, I don`t know. She embraces the concepts Dr.Janov developed and is according to many,THE new expert on chidrearing. So Dr. Janov`s ideas are indeed becoming widely accepted by many people. Without much acknowledgement of Dr. Janov`s groundbreaking work. Oh well, Whatever,...Dr.Syntax -1

So Dr. Janov`s ideas are indeed becoming widely accepted by many people. Without much acknowledgement of Dr. Janov`s groundbreaking work. As was pointed out to you in your other thread which was recently closed, that's because his ideas are garbage. http://debunkingprimaltherapy.com/ This is a website designed to give a detailed and well researched criticism and evaluation of primal therapy. It is a critique on the treatment and theory which was first developed and popularized by Arthur Janov (Ph.D.). Also, here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8839319 A random sample of 300 psychologists listed in the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology were surveyed about the soundness of forms of mental health treatment and use of these treatments in practice. The 139 psychologists responding expressed greatest confidence in cognitive-behavioral therapy and antipsychotic medications. Approaches most in question as to soundness were primal therapy, neurolinguistic programming, bioenergetics, and aversive therapy.Factor analysis indicated widespread endorsement and use of multiple techniques within two broad camps of research-based "hard-edged" versus clinical wisdom/philosophy-based "soft-edged."

REPLY: her ideas tie in with Janov`s. She does have peer reviewed credentials wereas Janov`s were not so easy to find. I`d be a little careful about trashing her or Janov for that matter. I am amazed how free some of you feel to go about trashing these two distinguished people. ...Dr.Syntax
iNow Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Appeals to authority mean nothing. Let's see the data. Also... on another note... Shat exactly is it that you wish to discuss? At this point, this is nothing more than spam coming from you... AGAIN.
JillSwift Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 Unsupported crapola like this is why people question whether or not psychology is a science. Grrr, I say, grrr.

JillSwift Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 REPLY: What evidence are you asking for ? ...DS Evidence of the efficacy of the techniques described, evidence of the phenomena these techniques are supposed to address, and evidence of the mechanisms described that give rise to these phenomena and the efficacy of the techniques. The peer-reviewed studies of the above would do for a start.
mooeypoo Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 dr.syntax, you were shown ample counter-claims and were given the time to show actual peer reviewed science behind your claim. You failed to do that, and the thread was closed. Reopening a closed thread is against the rules, dr.syntax. It might be in your best interest to go over them. If and when you have an actual peer reviewed evidence in favour of this claim, the thread might be reopened. As of now, you're strongly encouraged to go over the rules, not reopen a previously closed thread, and start talking valid science rather than unsupported claims. ~moo
